General information on the study programme:

The University Undergraduate Double-Major Study Programme in Pedagogy covers all core content in the field of pedagogy. It provides students with a comprehensive and continuous preparation for identifying, analysing, and evaluating the roles and responsibilities of pedagogues in contemporary educational practice. This is achieved through a purposeful integration of theoretical knowledge and practical work in educational institutions.

Graduates holding a Bachelor's degree in Pedagogy are qualified to work in educational institutions, sports clubs, associations, business organizations (particularly in human resource management departments), project associate positions, and other professions requiring pedagogical knowledge.
