Teaching degree with double specialization – a premiere in the west of the country

UVT reconfirms its objective of supporting the development of pre-university education in Romania. Thus, it becomes the first university in the western region of the country to introduce three dual-specialization bachelor's degree programs in teaching (two of them unique at the national level), dedicated to training teachers for the pre-university education system:

• Chemistry – Biology;
• Physics – Chemistry;
• Geography – English language and literature.

These programs, lasting 4 years, are created in collaboration with the relevant faculties and the Department for Teaching Staff Training (DPPD), being built on two modern paradigms – EBTE (Evidence-Based Teacher Education) and PBTE (Practice-BasedTeacher Education) -, to reduce the gap between theory and classroom reality, promoting student-centered pedagogical approaches, innovative teaching methods, and interdisciplinarity. Graduates can teach in pre-university education in either of the two areas of their specialization.
