One of teachers’ many important tasks is to stimulate and mould tomorrow’s everyday heroes and key figures.

Internationalisation within the teacher education programmes is important in order to learn more about people’s circumstances in a globalised world. The teacher education at the University of Gothenburg has a long tradition of international cooperation. Some courses include field studies abroad to provide students with important comparative perspectives. Furthermore, our students have plenty of opportunities for exchange studies at one of our partner universities.
