The course, which spans four years and encompasses eight semesters, offers a dual-major bachelor’s degree with one major in Education and the other in a disciplinary/interdisciplinary branch of knowledge.

ITEP is tailored for specialization at the secondary stage (grades 9-12) and entails a multidisciplinary approach, focusing on subjects like languages, arts education, physical education, vocational education, social sciences, humanities, mathematics, computational thinking, and sciences. 

Students will have the flexibility to choose subjects based on their interests and career aspirations, with options to study certain subjects at two levels, such as basic or advanced mathematics.
