Hawthorn Teachers College

Hawthorn Teachers College is an educational institution in Victoria, Australia. Originally established to train teachers for technical schools, it expanded through a series of name changes and organisational restructures. Until 1996, the institution focused on preparing educators in both academic and trade subjects for the expanding technical school system post-WWII. Since amalgamation with the University of Melbourne, it has specialised in English language and pathway programs for international students.

Since 1951, the institution’s name has changed several times, including Technical Teachers' Training Centre, Hawthorn Technical Teacher's College, The State College of Victoria at Hawthorn, Hawthorn Institute of Education, and Hawthorn-Melbourne. It has also been informally referred to as Hawthorn Teachers College and Hawthorn College of Advanced Education.
