Paths cover psychopedagogy; teaching and learning (core math, science, language courses with higher weekly hours); additional language and ICT; electives; and professional practice ending with an intensive 16-week school placement.
Career Outcomes: Graduates can work as primary school teachers, curriculum developers, teacher trainers, educational consultants, ICT coordinators or community coordinators, using inclusive pedagogy, classroom management, assessment and professional leadership skills.
