Professor Geoff Baker
University Academic Director & Head of School of Education
With links to educational partners across the UK, and in Europe and the Middle East, our programmes and research have international reach. Our expertise means we are well-placed to offer specially-designed foundation programmes and pre-sessional English language courses for international students. We also offer Access courses that are designed to help students who are returning to learning to achieve their potential.
We also have a strong tradition of teaching psychology, and we were one of the first higher education institutions in the UK to offer a degree in the subject. We have strong links with professional bodies such as the British Psychological Society (BPS) and British Association of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapists (BABCP) and produce highly relevant research.
"UoB was my first choice, the facilities and support I received enabled me to grow professionally and successfully secure a job in teaching."
"The Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE), was extremely informative and the lecturer was very supportive. My placement provided me with a first-hand experience of teaching. I learned a lot about responsibility and also about overcoming barriers to learning. The skills gained from my PGCE enabled me to move straight into an hourly-paid role in May and then a permanent position in September. Without the university of Bolton, I would not have been able to do this"
"I gained extensive knowledge in Early Years Education enabling me to progress and gain the skills I needed to open my own Nurseries."
"The tutors will make time to do 1-1 tutorials to talk to you about how you’re finding the lectures and university."
"I was nervous about starting university but now, hand on heart, I feel completely different! The teachers are caring, kind, sociable and so understanding. I love it."
"I'm growing into my future self with the support and guidance from my lecturers and personal tutor."
