The aim has been to create a modern School of Education, one which will be able to meet the needs of today's society and which takes a broad view of knowledge as its starting point. Another important ambition has been to integrate subject studies with learning about what is involved in working as a teacher. This includes the study of various perspectives on the school as an institution, the ways children think and learn, and the role of the teacher as a professional. During the first term, all categories of students will study the same courses, some of which are interdisciplinary. Within each of the five new areas specified above, several branches of knowledge of different length have been developed depending on what level the student wants to work at.
Subject courses focus on teaching and learning.
In Sweden, most teachers now have their major competence in certain fixed combinations of at least two school subjects, e.g. Swedish and civics. The students who enrol in the future will have a better opportunity to design their own education in that they have a free choice of second subject, which allows for new and exciting combinations. The School of Education continues to cooperate with Lund University. School Development and Leadership Special education 60-point program. This program of one and a half years is intended for those who have studied different subjects at university level or who have a vocational education and then decide to become teachers.
