Course overview

This course leads to a qualification as a teacher of children aged birth to five years, in pre-primary childcare and early-childhood-education settings.

Students undertake generalist units in education and professional studies as well as units of study in the sciences, social sciences and humanities offered by the faculty of Arts, Science, and Economics and Business.

The curriculum integrates training for general- and special-early-childhood education of infants, toddlers and preschool children so that students are prepared for teaching in diverse and inclusive early-childhood environments, including schools and other community settings.

Graduates are equipped with the necessary knowledge and training to become outstanding early-childhood teachers, decision-makers, ethical leaders, and theoretical and practical thinkers.
