The Thurgau University of Teacher Education PHTG in Kreuzlingen/Canton Thurgau is a nationally recognized training and continuing education institution for teachers. Since its foundation in September 2003, the PHTG has approximately 600 students. The PHTG maintains close cooperation with the neighboring University of Constance and is a member of the IBH (International Lake Constance University). Teacher training in Kreuzlingen was transferred from traditional, seminar-based training to a modular structure at university level and took over the training for teachers. After the first years in provisional tenancies, the PHTG was able to move into two new buildings designed by architect Beat Consoni in the fall of 2008. Annually, there are about 4,500 enrollments for continuing education and counseling programs.
