The College
The UC College of Education has over 130 years experience in teacher training. Students are guided towards a career in education by expert lecturers in well-equipped facilities. The Christchurch campus includes spacious and serene grounds and excellent amenities, as well as a cafe, childcare centre, and a library which provides services and collections to support education, teaching and sports coaching. The library also holds children’s books and audio visual materials to support learning in the classroom.
Along with the Christchurch campus, other centres are based in Nelson, Tauranga, Rotorua and New Plymouth, and our Flexible Learning Option (FLO) allows students to study through combinations of distance and on-campus learning.
