Why choose to study Pedagogy of Primary and Preschool Education?

Being a teacher is not about transmitting information. It means shaping children—cultivating their curiosity, building their confidence, helping them become good students and, furthermore, good people. The Primary Education Pedagogy program at UVVG Satu Mare prepares you to do exactly that, with solid training both in the classroom and in front of a class.

During the three years of study, you will combine fundamental disciplines of child psychology, pedagogy, and didactics with specialized disciplines—methodology of teaching Romanian language, mathematics, sciences, and arts in primary education—and with pedagogical practice stages in partner schools in Satu Mare. The curriculum is developed according to ARACIS standards and includes compulsory, optional, and elective disciplines.

Upon graduation, you are qualified to work in the public or private primary education system, as a tenured or substitute teacher, or to continue your education with a Master’s in Educational Management within the same faculty.
