Presentation
The Master's Degree Programme in Primary teacher education is the only programme that prepares qualified teachers both for preschools and primary schools. It is characterised by innovative teaching, which includes classroom lectures, school placements and laboratory exercises, and is supported by a constantly updated digital platform. In laboratories, groups of students are led by professors and professionals: the learn to apply theoretical principles and methodologies and simulate activities and procedures that are distinctive of the daily practice of teaching. During the internship, students are involved in educational-teaching and research projects in collaboration with school institutions. The degree programme is firmly rooted in the local area, valorises the best innovative experiences in the school and also accounts for the Reggio Emilia model of preschools that is known throughout the world. Graduates' employment rate is positive: one year after obtaining the degree, 86% of graduates find a job as preschool or primary school teacher (temporary or permanent) (Source: Alma Laurea 2021).Programme contents
