Do you have doubts about the University Degree in Primary Education?
Why is UFV the best place to study Primary Education?
From the first day, you will carry out activities with schools and associations so that you will learn to identify what each child is like and be able to teach them according to their learning speed, as well as to take into account their abilities and gifts.
You learn to teach by teaching. Therefore, you will do more than 1,.000 hours of internships in schools and educational centers such as Mater Salvatoris, Monte Tabor, La Salle, Jesús Maestro, Nuestra Señora del Pilar, etc.
You will learn in a very practical way with workshops and real simulations to acquire tools that awaken the child’s curiosity. In addition, you will attend conferences with experts in teaching methodologies, ICT, education of children with special needs, etc.
You will be able to participate in the Teacher’s Society, an initiative of UFV students to create proposals to improve education, participate in research groups and discuss values.
You will specialize throughout the degree with five specializations to choose from: Therapeutic Pedagogy, Hearing and Language, Foreign Language (English), Physical Educationor Music Education.
And the best part! You will live an unforgettable university experience, also outside of class. You will be able to join sports teams, attend events and hundreds of activities, do theater, go on missions, debate, join Be The Change and… lots of things!
