The vocational teacher education programme is meant for teachers (and teacher applicants) who plan to work at universities of applied sciences or at vocational institutions/colleges. The HAAGA-HELIA vocational teacher education programme in English is recommended for students who are not proficient in Finnish.

The programme comprises 60 credit points (former 35 credit units). It includes 25 credit points of basic studies in pedagogy which can be replaced by previous academic studies on education. The programme can be completed flexibly through our regular programme in one and a half years.

The teacher education programme combines a strong theoretical foundation with an investigative and developmental approach to teaching and the student-teacher experience. It has a special emphasis on the integration of theory and practice, as well as on encouraging students to participate developmental efforts in their own institutions. It fosters an investigative and development oriented approach to teaching.
