Por qué cursar esta titulación

Today's society attaches great importance to the education of its young people as a means of developing their capacities, integrating the cognitive, affective and axiological dimension, and of contributing to both individual and collective well-being. Education is a way to guarantee the exercise of democratic, responsible and critical citizenship, indispensable for building an advanced and just society. That is why society demands qualified professionals to take on this challenge.

The Bachelor's Degree in Nursery School Education is a purely professional degree that qualifies students to work as Nursery School Education Teachers. It is a profession that enjoys a great tradition, worldwide recognition and good job prospects due to the increase in the school population at this educational stage, the need to fill vacancies in the coming years due to retirements and the efforts of the educational administration to improve the human resources of the centres.

The qualification also provides initial training for other jobs, whether in other stages of education, in the educational administration or in the field of non-formal education. It is training linked to the educational processes of Nursery School Education, but of a varied and broad nature, which allows the skills acquired to be applicable to other professional fields.

Further information


Assessment of applications

A place is offered based on the number of places made available for each course and the marks achieved by the students. It must also be noted that the total number of places on offer for each course is distributed through a general quota [pupils from 'Bachillerato', Vocational Training or those with pre-university studies from international education systems] and reserved quotas [disabled students, high level/performance sportsmen/women, the over 25/45s or 40s, university graduates].

The admission lists are published on the official University of Zaragoza bulletin board [sede.unizar.es]. This publication is considered to be the official notification for the interested parties, but has no definitive effect for the same should the University detect any errors therein, in which case modifications will be made to it.

The following will be published for each undergraduate degree course:

  • An alphabetical list of the admitted students, including names and surnames, admission mark and quota

Calls for those on the waiting lists

Should a student be admitted to a degree course that is not their first choice, they shall stay on the waiting list for all the courses chosen as priorities.

Once the first registration period is over, those centres with places still vacant because not all the initially admitted students have registered will make a series of public calls to people on the waiting lists. Each call will cover those students on the waiting list who are entitled to register. At this point, they will no longer be called for those other studies that they applied for admission with a lower order of preference. 

It is important to note that if registration is not completed within the dates given, then all rights to hold the place offered will be lost. Thus, it is very important to pay attention to the calls, as the interested parties will not be informed by telephone.

Perfiles de salida

The professional prospects for graduates in the Bachelor's Degree in Nursery School Education are basically the following:

·       Nursery School Education Teacher in public, state-subsidised or public schools.

·       Nursery School manager.

In addition, the Bachelor's Degree in Nursery School Education Teacher is valid in all countries of the EHEA (European Higher Education Area) and in many countries of the world, which greatly broadens professional prospects.

On the other hand, professional practice as a teacher can subsequently lead to other professional opportunities both in the field of educational administration and in the field of in-service teacher training.

Finally, the possession of the Degree in Nursery School Education Teacher allows for the continuation of Master's studies that give the option to work as a guidance counsellor in educational centres or as a vocational training teacher, preferably in the professional family of Sociocultural and Community Services, which includes training cycles in Early Childhood Education, Sociocultural Animation, Social Integration, Social and Health Care, etc.

The subsequent completion of a doctoral thesis gives access to university teaching posts in the field of education.


El entorno profesional y social en el que se ubica este estudio

In the Spanish university context, the degree in Nursery School Education is one of the most sought-after by students, being regularly in recent years among the first ones with the highest number of applications in first option and in effective enrolment. As pointed out in the White Paper corresponding to this Degree, Teacher Training Degrees are, in absolute terms, those with the highest supply, demand and enrolment in all Spanish Universities (ANECA, 2004).

The disappearance of the previous teaching degrees corresponding to the areas of specialisation defined in the Organic Law on Education would mean that this high demand for the previous teaching degrees would be concentrated in the new degrees in Early Childhood Education and Primary Education. This has meant that the demand for these degrees has increased, receiving students who were previously divided between seven different teaching degrees. Since the introduction of the Bachelor's Degree in Nursery School Education (academic year 2010-2011), there has been a significant demand for these studies, which has been maintained over the last few years, being women a great percentage of students (UNIZAR Transparency Portal, 2021).

At the University of Zaragoza, the Bachelor's Degree in Nursery School Education is taught in 3 centres (locations): Faculty of Education in Zaragoza, Faculty of Human Sciences and Education in Huesca, and Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Teruel. In this sense, the three university campuses receive students from practically all over Spain.


Qué se aprende

Teachers must acquire theoretical and practical training in accordance with the objectives set out in the laws that regulate their functions, without forgetting that they have to situate themselves in the highly dynamic field of relations between school and society. Consequently, they must be capable of organising and arguing their criteria and strategies with regard to the exercise of their profession, in response to the challenges posed by society at any given time.

 For all these reasons, the Bachelor's Degree in Nursery School Education provides a solid multidisciplinary training in which the following aspects can be distinguished:

 - The basic training which includes an important pedagogical, psychological and sociological base, with which we seek to gain a detailed knowledge of the maturation process of children in its different facets and to understand and manage the educational processes relating to the 0-6 years period. To this is added training in two instrumental subjects: Spanish language and foreign language.

 - Compulsory training where the contents of the Primary Education stage are considered (oneself knowledge and personal autonomy, knowledge of the environment, languages: communication and representation) and the specific didactics that study the teaching and learning processes of these contents are developed.

 - The school internships that allow students to live directly with the educational reality and provide the necessary link between the theoretical training received and professional practice.

 - The specialisations that introduce students to those competences in line with the professional profiles defined by the educational administration: attention to diversity, bilingual education, physical education, music education and foreign language.

 - The end-of-degree project, which aims to encourage students to reflect on educational theory and practice and, in particular, on innovative educational proposals and their modes of application, with a view to their teaching dedication being permanently reinforced in the future by reflection and research on their own task.
