Faculty of Child and Adult Education

History and education

• the training program for future social educators was introduced in 1992
• first it was paired with nursery school education (dual major program), but since the second half of the 1990s it has been an independent training course
• a major development was the launch of the training course for Cultural Managers in 2004, this training proved to be greatly popular
• the year 2006 marks another significant change in the history of the system of the Faculty introducing the two-tier system in Hungarian higher education (BA, MA); as a result, the duration of qualification in our first-degree programs was formulated as follows
  • Nursery School Teacher training: 6 semesters
  • Nursery School Teacher training (specialization: gypsy): 6 semesters
  • Social Pedagogy: 6+1 semesters
  • Infant and Child Development: 6 semesters
  • Social Sciences: 6 semesters
  • Infant and Child Development (higher-level vocational training): 4 semesters
  • Social and Youth Work (higher-level vocational training): 4 semesters
• the extremely popular MA program in Human Resources Counselling was launched in 2009
• Postgraduate Specialization degree programs are organized in 7 counties besides the Faculty’s own location
