Maria Dymiotou 

Through a comprehensive programme of study, I acquired essential knowledge, contemporary pedagogical approaches, and valuable skills, which contributed decisively to my success in the appointment examinations for pre-primary teachers, laying the foundation for my professional career. Walking alongside me in this journey were the faculty members of the Department of Education, whose guidance, support, and ongoing communication continue to this day. The programme gave me the opportunity to bridge theory with practice, further developing my skills. At the same time, my commitment to volunteerism was strengthened through the University’s initiatives, ultimately earning me the Volunteerism Award in recognition of my contribution. Looking back, I feel deep gratitude for the knowledge, experiences, and values I gained both as an educator and as a person.
