The Bachelor’s Degree in Educational Sciences – Social Education at Universidade Lusófona in Lisbon offers a solid and practical education for those wishing to act as agents of transformation in educational and socio-educational contexts. The course, with 180 ECTS credits and delivered on-campus, prepares professionals to work in public and private institutions, such as kindergartens, day centres, after-school programmes, rehabilitation centres, community animation projects, or adult and youth education. Students develop skills in planning, evaluation, management, and research in education and social action. Throughout the programme, students gain both theoretical and practical knowledge, enabling them to integrate into multidisciplinary teams, promote social inclusion, and contribute to the development of individuals and the communities in which they work.

CeiED is pleased to announce the integration of new researchers, further strengthening its scientific community and the diversity of research areas it encompasses.
