Mission Statement

UCET's vision

… is of a world in which professional educators in all sectors of education exhibit interpersonal, pedagogical and organisational competencies of the highest standard and work collaboratively in partnership with colleagues in the wider public context; as such, as part of their own development, they should receive the formally accredited, scholastic and research-informed higher education they need in order to provide learners with educational opportunities of the highest quality.

UCET's mission

… is to represent the UK’s higher education based professional educators providing research-informed and formally accredited education, training and development opportunities. In so doing, we seek to:

• facilitate communication and co-operation between member institutions.
• provide a forum for sharing information across the UK and internationally.
• enhance the quality and impact of education through the application and championing of research.
• influence the development and implementation of policy by working in partnership with other agencies and by undertaking campaigning and lobbying activities.
• champion the professional status of educators throughout the UK.
• articulate the role of education as an interdisciplinary-based subject that adds value to the creation and communication of knowledge within the higher education community.
