Faculty of Education

The Faculty of Education (ALU) is the largest faculty at Volda University College with approximately 1000 students and 60 members of staff.

The Faculty of Education offers programmes qualifying for professional work in pre-schools, primary and junior secondary schools. If you would like to work with children and youths, teacher education could be the professional career for you. Pedagogical work at the various levels of teaching requires teachers with a solid professional competence in a variety of fields. The Faculty of Education at VUC incorporates its long traditions for teacher training with the perspectives of modern interactive teaching methods and ICT-based teaching to provide students the knowledge, skills and attitudes needed in the education system.

In addition to the 4-year General Teacher Education Programme, the Faculty of Education offers a number of subjects and subject areas of 30 and 60 ECTS credits, subjects that the students may choose as in-depth studies.


         
The administrative section of the Faculty of Education is located in the Kaarstad building and in the adjoining annexes.
