University College of Teacher Education Vienna
The University College of Teacher Education Vienna puts great effort into making the teaching profession its focal point. Education, training and continuing professional development, in conjunction with research, ensure that the demands of the teaching profession and other related educational professional fields are met in a sustained manner. We pride ourselves on successful cooperation and well-developed networks with all types of schools within the urban educational region. Considering that teaching and learning are fundamentally based on research, practice, personality-oriented professional development and sustained internationalisation, current theories in education are being revised with an emphasis on diversity in the development of potentials. Within the framework of the new teacher education study programme, the organisation of bachelor’s and master’s studies is based on the Bologna structure.
