Primary Education covers the mandatory education period from 6 to 12 years-old. This stage contributes to children’s personal and socio-cultural development, and it also sets the foundation for their learning throughout life. The figure of the teacher is fundamental in this stage.

The Bachelor’s Degree in Primary Education will provide students with the academic training, theory and practise necessary to face this significant challenge. Students will internalise the tools needed to contribute to children’s personal development in subjects with artistic, scientific, ethics and social, linguistic, motor, mathematical and technological content.

Students may choose from any of these five minors or specialisations: Foreign Language, Musical Education, Syllabus and Resources, Linguistic Diversity in School and Innovation in Primary-School Centres. The minors in Foreign Language and Musical Education focus on becoming an English or Music teacher.

Additionally, starting in the second year, students will participate first-hand in educational projects at various schools through the mandatory internships.

A B2 certification in Basque language is required in order to register.
