Internships in educational centres from the first year and the option of studying the degree in Spanish or bilingual (English)
The programme includes extensive training in language skills, both in Spanish and English, in order to respond to the demands of educational administrations and society in general for this profession.
With this aim, framed within the European Higher Education Area, it is intended to promote the internationalisation of students, improving their language skills and their knowledge of other cultures and teaching models. In this way, future teachers will be prepared to be able to teach students according to the educational needs of society.
Spain's changing society has made universities need to respond to these demands
At Nebrija we train teachers based on scientific evidence. Our model integrates cognitive science, real practice in innovative educational centres and solid training in languages. Teaching, research and transfer are articulated around the PhD in Education and Cognitive Science, the CEDI group and the Cognitive Science Centre.
Internships are at the heart of our training. Our students spend a week immersed in a centre whose educational project is based on the development of executive functions, aligning theory and practice from cognitive science.
The degree program connects an understanding of how we learn with the decisions teachers make in the classroom. It combines pedagogical knowledge, hands-on experience in educational settings, and educational innovation projects to help you build a strong foundation for your teaching practice.
