Study Program

Within the framework of the NEW Teacher Education study program, the organization of Bachelor and Master studies are based on the Bologna structure, whereby the Bachelor studies are aimed at scientific and/or artistic vocational education. Each study program provides a vast understanding of the responsibilities in teaching the respective subject, including the responsibilities of the respective educational field and the duties imposed by schools i.e. educational institutions.

Teachers are practicing a profession that requires a great sense of responsibility and is of immense social and political importance. The education at the University College of Teacher Education focuses on a proper understanding of the current demands in the field which is fundamentally converged on competencies. The notion of competence is perceived to be complex and incorporates knowledge, know-how, motivation and attitude.
