The Bachelor's program (Bachelor Professional) Early Childhood Education and Care at Hochschule Campus Wien is characterized by a close connection between theory and practice and prepares you for your professional activity as an early childhood education and care professional according to the latest state of research.
The study program was developed in cooperation with experts from science and practice. We are in regular contact with early childhood education and care institutions as well as national and international training centers and universities. Our cooperation partners for the practical training are large Viennese provider organizations for crèches, nursery schools and day homes.
Cooperation with KIWI - Kinder in Wien (Children in Vienna)
KIWI - Kinder in Wien is the non-university educational institution with which we maintain an extended cooperation (see FHG §9 Abs4), as well as a cooperation partner for the practical training. KIWI currently supervises around 7,800 children at 92 locations (crèches, nursery schools, day homes, age-extended and open groups, special focus rooms), making it one of the largest private kindergarten and day home providers in Vienna. At the heart of the KIWI - Kinder in Wien mission statement are the rights of children as defined in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child; pluralism of values and openness to different lifestyles and cultures; self-determination and a sense of responsibility in dealing with people and the environment; verifiable quality standards and their continuous implementation. The central KIWI - Kinder in Wien guiding principle "Growing together in joy" expresses the goal of offering children the best possible educational opportunities so that they can freely develop their social and individual talents, as well as the willingness of employees themselves to grow and learn throughout their lives.
At a time when the growing need for high-quality childcare facilities is being discussed, it is all the more important to promote the academization of the professional field in conjunction with early childhood education and care research. Hochschule Campus Wien is the first university to offer a complete Bachelor's program (Bachelor Professional) for basic professional qualification in early childhood education and care.
