About the Teacher Educations
The Teacher Educations are organised as an interdisciplinary matrix with activities in both Kristiansand and Grimstad. Five faculties are responsible for the actual delivery of the courses and subjects which form part of the programmes.
Teacher education has the longest history of any subject area at the University of Agder, reaching back to 1839.
The Dean of the Teacher Education Unit is the academic and administrative head of the teacher education programmes, with an academic coordinator for each study programme.
The Teacher Educations have close cooperation all over the Agder region for student placement. In addition, it encourages its teaching students to experience either placement for teaching practice or a whole semester abroad as part of their teacher education programme.
About 2000 students are enrolled in our teacher education programmes:
- Early Childhood Teacher Education
- Primary Teacher Education 1st–7th grade
- Lower Secondary Teacher Education 5th–10th grade
- Upper Secondary Teacher Education 8th–13th grade
