The University of Education Zug (PH Zug) is an independent university of education based in Zug . The PH Zug is the first university in the canton of Zug .

history

The PHZ Zug was a sub-school of the Central Switzerland University of Education , which, in addition to Zug, also included the Lucerne and Schwyz locations . When the PHZ Zug was founded in 2003, the canton of Zug transferred responsibility for the St. Michael Zug schools.

Students in the secondary level diploma course (SEK I) completed the basic course at the PHZ Zug and switched to the PHZ Lucerne for the main course .

Since August 1, 2013, the PHZ Zug has been continued under the new name PH Zug (University of Education Zug), as the university sponsorship was transferred from the PHZ concordat of the six central Swiss cantons to the canton of Zug at this point in time .

offer

The fourfold performance mandate of the PH Zug includes training, further education, research and development, and services.

The three-year diploma course enables a bachelor's degree for kindergarten / lower level (KU) or for primary level (PS). The PH Zug also offers diploma extension courses for teachers who have already been trained as well as a preparatory course for career changers, which is aimed at people who do not yet meet the necessary entry requirements.

The range of services also includes advanced training (courses) and additional training (CAS and MAS ). The offer enables teachers to expand their technical, methodological, personal and social skills and to acquire specific knowledge in a new area.
