The Study

BABEK – Familiar learning atmosphere with high practical relevance

In the bachelor's degree program Early Childhood Education (BABEK), students and teachers share the goal of accompanying children in their development in the best possible way. The organization and structure of the program allow for a trusting and personal relationship between students and teachers. The degree program with six full-time semesters focuses on joint learning and research in seminars, on a familiar learning atmosphere and a high practical relevance. Thus, weekly practical days and internships lasting several weeks enable students to directly apply and reflect on theoretical knowledge. During the practical phases, students are often offered jobs in day care centers, after-school care centers or family centers.

Einblick in den BABEK-Studienalltag

Special emphasis is placed in the BABEK program on the examination of modern psychoanalytical concepts, which will help you to understand and interpret the developmental processes of children. During your studies, you will also acquire competencies in the educational areas of art, language, natural sciences, and health and movement. Further content includes a basic understanding of the social and legal framework of education in childhood as well as competencies in the areas of leadership and management. Continuous practical phases and opportunities for reflection also promote the development of a research-based approach.

What does the BABEK degree programme offer you?

The BABEK degree programme qualifies you for educational work with children aged 0 to 12 and for working with families. It enables you to obtain state recognition as a childhood educator.

Among other things, you will learn systematic observation procedures, methods of dialogue and how to deal sensitively with children and adults. This will enable you to take professionally based pedagogical action. By working in educational institutions during your studies and involving families, you will also expand your communication skills.

Study contents such as art, movement, language or natural sciences enable you to expand your creative and research activities. The BABEK degree programme places particular emphasis on exploring modern psychoanalytical concepts that will help you to understand and interpret children's developmental processes. These psychoanalytical focuses also offer phases of biographical work and self-reflection, which you will be able to incorporate into future counselling activities. Continuous practical phases and opportunities for reflection also encourage the development of a research-based approach. Further content includes a basic understanding of the social and legal framework of childhood education as well as leadership and management skills.

Campus life also offers you many opportunities for your own projects, e.g. in the campus garden, in the student-run casino or in projects with day-care centres in the vicinity of the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam. A team of educators will also support you with questions about balancing your studies and family life, for example by providing flexible childcare.
