What is a unitary teaching college?

A unitary teaching college is a type of higher education institution that specialises in the training of teachers. These colleges are typically small, with a focus on providing a personalised education to their students. They typically offer undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in education, as well as other related subjects such as psychology and sociology. Unitary teaching colleges often have close ties to local schools and other educational institutions, and they may offer practical teaching experience as part of their programmes.
