Degree Course in Primary Education

Programme Description

The degree course in Primary Education trains teachers to teach in nursery and primary schools. There are two degree courses: Training for nursery school teachers and for primary school teachers.
The course lasts for four years, but will be transformed into a 5-year course; oficial approval by the Ministry is pending. The first two years of the course is the same for both sections and introduces students to education, while the second two years see a greater specialisation and students study specifically to become either a nursery school or a primary school teacher. Some of the teaching is complemented by reading, project work and distance learning.The course is either offered in Italian or German although students who follow the Ladin course have courses in Ladin language and culture. Students habe to choose which section they wish to study i at the time of pre-enrolment. Our graduates normally go to work in nursery and primary schools in Italy and Italian schools abroad. This degree also allows students to access adult education.
