Strathclyde Institute of Education

The Strathclyde Institute of Education is the education school and part of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, Scotland.

The Faculty of Education was formed in 1992 when the Jordanhill College of Education (the first institution in Europe to train teachers) made the decision to merge with the University of Strathclyde in order to create a new faculty. The Faculty was launched on 1 April 1993, with long history in the field of training new teacher; however latterly, it also trained education professionals in the arts, community education, physical education, sport and outdoor education, social work and speech and language therapy.

The Faculty of Education was housed at the Jordanhill campus in the west end of Glasgow until 2012. Since relocating to the city centre campus the faculty became the Institute of Education. The Jordanhill campus housed the largest education research library in Scotland. There were two student residences on campus.
