Dear Visitor,

Welcome to our faculty, which is the regional centre of teacher training.

The mission of Kecskemét College Teacher Training Faculty is to train the most prepared experts of their field in a very close cooperation with Kecskemét town, the region and to be integrated into the structure of the Hungarian teacher training enriching it with special characteristics. Our main goal is to provide the teachers of the future with the most up-to-date knowledge based on the traditions of the profession. Following the Hungarian and international trends and scientific achievements our aim is to offer our students, who are regarded to be our partners, a training which enables them to use their knowledge and up-to-date methodological background in their future workplaces. 

Our heritage is a way of thinking which is open to new ideas, changes, reforms, and is based on scientific results. Our reputation and the teacher training in Kecskemét have been characterised by this policy for almost a century. Our ambition is to be popular, while preserving the values of this profession. These are the reasons why we can give excellent professionals to the town, region, our country, all Hungarians and Europe.

There are Kindergarten Teacher, Lower Primary School Teacher BA courses in our faculty, while there are both full-time and part-time higher-level vocational Youth Advisers, Infant and Child Care Worker training courses. Moreover, we offer our students or colleagues who already have their degrees several trainings, further education programmes which inform them about the most current trends in their profession.

Developing our students’ talent is outstandingly important for us. We offer facilities for our students to improve their talent and abilities in the field of music, fine arts, drama, puppetry and several other workshops and areas of research. The training in our faculty can also be characterised by involving our students in our researches giving them an opportunity to apply the theoratical background in practice. We also think that it is important to provide an opportunity for our BA students to study abroad for some time in our partner colleges and universities all over Europe.

I do hope that I could arouse your interest in our faculty and we meet you as a student, a partner or a participant in our courses, trainings or conferences. I hope we can co-operate in reaching our common goals.
