The aim of this study is to examine pre-service teachers’ satisfaction with their faculty of education. The study employed a qualitative case study design, and the participants consisted of 88 pre-service teachers selected through typical case sampling. Data were collected using a semi-structured interview form and analyzed through content analysis. The findings revealed that pre-service teachers were generally dissatisfied with the content, scope, and variety of compulsory and elective courses. Although faculty members were perceived as strong in subject-matter and general cultural knowledge, they were considered to need improvement in professional competencies, assessment practices, and educational management. Communication skills and interactions with faculty members were evaluated positively overall; however, variations were reported regarding their quality and consistency. Finally, pre-service teachers expressed low satisfaction with the academic, social, technological, cultural, and supportive opportunities provided by their faculty.
