Overview

This course is tailored to applicants with an undergraduate qualification in a discipline other than early childhood. Those who hold an early childhood teaching degree and are looking to advance their career, the University recommend upskilling to a four year degree by applying for the Bachelor of Early Childhood Education and Leadership. Students will study units focused on children from birth to five years, learning how teaching practice can include children and families as capable participants in education. Students will also gain hands-on work experience in a range of settings, including childcare and kindergartens, graduating with expertise in early-childhood learning built on a strong sense of social justice. Students gain insight into the early years by studying these fascinating areas: child development teaching practice that includes Aboriginal perspectives education and curriculum studies focused on childhood and relationships family and community contexts advocacy and activism in early-childhood settings history and philosophy of early childhood ethical early-childhood professional practice. The Graduate Diploma in Early Childhood Education is recognised as the equivalent of a four-year degree.
