Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina

UFSC Pedagogy program prepares students for a teaching career in early childhood and primary education as well as for the organization and management of educational systems, units or projects, and for the production and dissemination of knowledge across various educational fields.

Hence, the program’s curriculum focuses on teaching, while also providing students with the necessary knowledge to perform other pedagogical activities involved in the education systems or units. Throughout the program, students take courses from multiple fields and must write a final thesis (TCC) on any topic related to the educational field.

They also have to engage in two teaching internships: one in childhood education and the other in primary school. These can be done at the university’s Child Development Center (NDI) or Laboratory School (Colégio de Aplicação), as well as in any municipal or state schools and childhood education institutions.
