Teaching Methods;

Students work in project groups or in seminar groups together with a supervisor. During the teaching practice periods, students will work in groups in Notodden, Kongsberg or other areas nearby. Students in Porsgrunn will have their teaching practice locally. Internet-based learning is offered as an alternative to students who are unable to attend university college full time. The part-time programme builds on the same plan as the full-time programme. The programme consists of study periods (mainly in Notodden), interaction on the Internet, teaching practice, single-subject and interdisciplinary projects.

Career / Further Studies:

The programme qualifies students to teach in primary and lower secondary schools from year one to year ten. Candidates receive their certification after 4 years of completed full-time study or 5 years part-time study. The requirement for a B.A. degree is 3 years, which is the entrance requirement for masters-level studies.
