Primary Education covers the mandatory education period from 6 to 12 years-old. This stage contributes to children’s personal and sociocultural 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.

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