Our faculty’s profile lies on the early years of education starting from the age of 0 all the way up to the 4th grade in primary school (age 10).
Our BA programmes consist the following:
Early childhood education (age 0-3)
Pre-School Education (3-6)
Primary Education (7-10)
The faculty’s aim is to encourage the kind of playful attitude and openness toward others that day cares, pre-schools and primary schools expect in the 21st century. Our education is practice based that is combined with theoretical elements. We put big emphasis on creativity, music and tasks that help to create a playful environment while learning the psychological and methodological elements of teaching in the early years (from 0 to 10).
