The Bachelors of Educational Sciences (LED) will prepare individuals to successfully work in educational institutions, in the areas of management, administration, research, consultancy and assessment, as well as in teaching.

LEDs are trained to develop their own initiatives by creating new institutions and special education programs. In companies, LEDs act in design and implementation of training programs, educational programs for adults, and consultancy.
