Study

The Faculty of Education offers a broad portfolio of degree programmes spanning teacher education, educational sciences and a range of professionally oriented fields. Teacher education forms a strong pillar of the Faculty’s identity, with pathways for future educators from early childhood through various school contexts. Primary School Teacher Education is offered as an integrated five-year Master’s degree programme.

Alongside teacher training, the Faculty provides a rich selection of non-teaching programmes that reflect the diversity of contemporary educational and social practice. These programmes build expertise across areas such as social and special pedagogy, prevention and support in educational and community settings, culture and religious education, language and communication, as well as artistic and design-oriented disciplines.

With around 3,000 students, the Faculty creates a lively learning environment that connects academic study with practical experience, creativity and public engagement. In addition to degree programmes, the Faculty has a strong tradition in lifelong learning. It offers continuing education for educators and professionals and contributes to civic learning through popular University of the Third Age courses.

Research and development activities are closely linked to teaching and professional practice. Academic staff and students participate in a wide range of projects, including nationally funded research as well as internal schemes that support early-career researchers and student involvement. Research outputs are shared through scholarly publishing, professional platforms and conference presentations at national and international levels.

A flagship event for professional exchange is the annual Educational Days conference, which brings together researchers, teachers and other education professionals and has become a well-established tradition.

Internationalisation is an integral part of the Faculty’s mission. Through Erasmus+ and other partnerships, the Faculty supports student and staff mobility, develops joint activities with partner institutions and strengthens international collaboration in education and research. International mobility increasingly includes not only study and traineeships, but also cooperation focused on curriculum development, research collaboration and the international presentation of academic and creative outcomes.
