We embrace collaboration and excellence to create a future that is inclusive and just and have been ranked number one for education every year since 2014 in the QS World University Rankings by Subject.

The PASHE programme is an academically challenging and intensive pre-sessional course that runs in the summer, with 11- and 8-week entry points. The students are preparing for entry to the Institute of Education’s undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral programmes.

Key aspects of the role include assessing student progress and attainment, promoting and directing personal and independent learning through one-to-one tutorials, and ensuring that the course provides the best possible academic and English language preparation for prospective UCL Institute of Education students.
