Distinctive features of a study programme:
Our goal is to prepare pedagogues who are able to carry out inclusive education (encompassing the inclusion of children distinguishable based on aspects such as gender, age, language, social and ethnic origin, abilities, special educational needs, cognitive styles and other).
Students may choose alternative pedagogical specialisation subjects: second language teaching methods and sign language for children.
