Welcome Address by the Chair of the Department of Education Sciences

 

On behalf of the academic and administrative personnel, and the undergraduate and postgraduate students, I would like to welcome you to the Department of Education Sciences of the European University Cyprus.

 

The Department of Education Sciences is one of two departments within the School of Arts and Education Sciences and was established in September 2007, with the foundation of the European University Cyprus. The Department offers two undergraduate courses leading to a Bachelor degree (B.A.) in Early Childhood Education and in Primary School Education, two postgraduate courses leading to a Master’s degree (M.A) in Educational Leadership and in Special (Inclusive) Education and a PhD degree in Educational Sciences (leading to two specializations: Education Leadership and Special/Inclusive Education) . All courses are currently offered in Greek.

 

The Department has a distinguished faculty, with each of its members having a scholarly reputation in her/his scientific field, recognized both in Cyprus and internationally. The faculty is committed to providing students with outstanding education and research experiences, based on contemporary educational trends and research findings in education sciences. We encourage critical thinking and emphasize self-reflection throughout the courses, preparing students for academic and professional advancement.

 

From the very first year of its foundation, our Department was and still is, among the largest departments of the European University Cyprus, in terms of number of students and personnel,. Our mission is to provide high quality education that prepares our students to contribute constructively to the educational, cultural and social issues of the local and the European context, by enhancing the study of Education Sciences through the production of new significant knowledge. Moreover, we encourage and inspire our students to become competent educators, able to undertake employment in all sectors of education, that is why we empower them with the necessary skills and qualifications for academic, professional and personal development.

 

The students of the Department receive a high quality education and develop essential skills, both of which are vital in order to make a significant contribution to the society. Our graduates have been successful in finding employment in schools and educational institutions, and our postgraduates employ their qualifications in pursuing promotion/advancement in their careers.


Welcome to the Department of Education Sciences.
