Do you like teaching and constantly want to learn new things? Are you a person motivated by working with great social responsibility? Intuitive, creative, flexible, patient, responsible and with the ability of persuasion? If the answer is yes and you have a good grasp of Catalan, and also Spanish, we invite you to enrol in the UAB's Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education.
You will learn to plan, develop and evaluate education activities aimed at children aged zero to six. You can choose to enrol in the Specialisation in Specific Educational Needs, in the Specialisation in Performative Education in the Arts or if you have an elemental cycle in music, you can take the Specialisation in Musical Education. If you are not interested in a specialisation, you will have many optional subjects to choose from. You will begin participating in practicums starting in your first year and discover both the dynamics of nursery schools and kindergarten.
If you are interested in discovering other cultures, you will be able to choose from over 40 different European universities. The UAB also has practicum agreements with France, Germany, Great Britain and Latin America. In addition, a practicum agreement with the city council of Munich, Germany, has led to more than 30 students being hired indefinitely at some of the city's nursery schools.
