The B.A. program of the School of Education (0723) provides students with concepts and a broad and interdisciplinary background in the educational sciences. 

The goal of the studies is to provide graduates with the knowledge and understanding of the evolving nature of modern society in all its facets and the dynamic nature of education as a central pillar in every society.

As part of the program, you will learn about key aspects and developmental models in processes of typical and atypical development. You will be exposed to intervention programs for children with and without special needs, both within and outside formal education systems. Additionally, you will explore counselling models and acquire foundational tools for educational interventions.

Furthermore, you will be introduced to current research in cognitive sciences and brain studies, intervention processes, and early childhood development and learning. You will gain knowledge about digital learning processes in various education systems, the development of digital content, and the implementation of innovative technologies in online learning environments.

All of this will be complemented by significant hands-on experience in initiating, planning, and executing innovative projects in various educational settings.

B.A. level studies do not provide professional training, nor do they qualify students for a Teaching Certificate or other professional diplomas.

The BA in Education is a double-major program. Students who wish to pursue their studies in one of the MA Education programs and work at schools need a Teaching Certificate. Accordingly, students are advised to choose as a second major a subject which is taught in secondary schools.
