Program Overview

In our program, you’ll gain the knowledge needed to work with children and receive training that will enable you to understand the education and training system, establish a private daycare center, a private preschool, or even your own adult education institution, and become qualified to assist with educational and instructional tasks both within and outside the school system, as well as to perform duties requiring basic pedagogical qualifications in organizations and institutions dealing with educational matters.

In line with the needs of the job market, our students not only acquire theoretical knowledge during the program but also build a professional portfolio that, through project-based assignments and internships, provides the experience needed to advance to higher-level positions. We welcome you if you’d like to work with children, youth, or in adult education; if you’re preparing for a career as a subject teacher but haven’t yet decided on a specific field; or if you’re currently working as a vocational instructor at a vocational training institution but don’t yet have a teaching degree.

An advanced-level high school diploma is not required.

Professional Internship

Professional practicum includes practical training conducted in public education institutions (both educational and instructional), in public education special education service institutions, and in educational professional service and service-providing institutions, as well as in institutions (museums, libraries, collections) where the development program is indirectly related to educational work. During the professional internship, students apply and test their acquired knowledge in real-world situations and further develop it using a problem-oriented approach. The duration of the professional internship is 6–12 weeks (240–480 hours) over the course of the entire program.
