Outline of the Undergraduate Program of Education
 
Objective:
 
 

We aim to foster personnel with wide vision and broad expertise, who can act as leaders and contribute to establishing school education systems and learning societies suitable for the 2lst century. To achieve this objective we will employ an interdisciplinary and comprehensive approach to a variety of educational issues, which are becoming more diverse and serious, with the goal of integrating theory and practice.

 

Special Features:
 
 

The Faculty of Education covers all aspects of education from pre-school teaching to higher education, as well as lifelong learning. Each student can learn according to his or her own interests. We offer instruction which accommodates personal needs, since we provide education for small groups of students. Additionally, we proactively accept professors and students from foreign countries, thereby creating an environment of international cooperation. After graduation, students can teach at educational institutions and/or become active in areas related to education. Another path for students is to enter a graduate school in order to further develop their expertise and maximize their skills.
