The Centre is uniquely situated both within the School of Science and Engineering and the School of Education at the University. It is known throughout New Zealand and internationally for its research and scholarship, and for the use of its research in the development of policy, practice, curriculum, resources, assessment and professional development. |

| Our students include practicing teachers, teacher educators, curriculum developers and community educators in New Zealand and from a range of countries in the Pacific Island, Africa and Asia. Most are graduates seeking mid-career professional development through advanced study for higher qualifications. Staff and students work together as colleagues in a cooperative and friendly way. |
| |
| The study options (hyperlink to STUDY OPTIONS) we offer are flexible. Full-time and part-time options are available. They allow students to specialise in their particular area of interest, to undertake interdisciplinary study, and to learn how to conduct research. Excellent facilities are available in the Centre and at the University. Many courses are available online, so that students can complete a qualification from their own location. |
| |
| The Centre is keen to host New Zealand Science, Mathematics and Technology Teacher Fellows. Any practicing teacher interested in this option that provides up to one year of study leave on a project of their choice, and of interest to the Centre, would be welcome to discuss this with Centre staff. |

| We extend a warm welcome to you to come and join our exciting, vibrant community and make the most of all we offer. |
