Pre-school and early childhood pedagogy is a new course offered by the Vilnius Branch of the University of Białystok (UwB). The Faculty of Economics and Information Technology will offer this course from the 2023/2024 academic year. 

The university has been preparing for the launch of the new faculty for over a year. All the formalities under both Polish and Lithuanian law have now been fulfilled, which is why the training will start after the summer holidays. 

In accordance with Polish law, the pre-school and early school education will be provided in the form of a five-year, integrated master’s degree, and graduates will receive a professional master’s degree.

The Vilnius Branch of the University of Białystok has been operating since 2007. It was the first foreign department established by a Polish university, and also the first branch of a foreign university in Lithuania.
