Teacher Education Programme in Primary Education (Preschool Class and Years 1-3) will give you the knowledge and competence needed to teach and interact with pupils' aged 6-9 years. They are curious about their surroundings and filled with the desire to know more.

Fundamental to this programme is a comprehensive view of children's learning, where different subjects are integrated in creative and interesting work models. You will study Swedish, mathematics, English, social studies, science and technology. Within the courses in educational science you will learn about leadership, social relations, group development and conflict management.

When you have your school placement, you will be able to see how theory informs practice. You have the optional opportunity to do one of your school placement courses abroad.

If your university has an agreement with our department you are welcome to join us as an exchange student.
