The Teacher Education Programme (PPU) gives qualifications for work as a teacher in upper primary and lower secondary school (grades 5 - 13 in the Norwegian school system) as well as in adult education. The two major components of the programme are classroom practice and educational and didactic theory. Classroom practice takes place at one of the Department`s Partner Schools in or close to Oslo.
The programme is offered both as a full-time study programme over two terms and as a part-time study programme over three terms. Either way, the program is taught in Norwegian only, and Norwegian skills at profiency level are required to be accepted.
