Course summary

Introduction

Our MA Education with Early Childhood focusses on early childhood education from birth until eight years old and you'll graduate with a valuable postgraduate qualification. Advance your knowledge of young children鈥檚 learning and develop your early years practice and professionalism. Explore areas of personal interest in early childhood education and care whilst also enhancing your research skills. There may also be opportunities to visit different early years settings.

If you have a degree in early childhood studies, pre-school education or a related subject, our MA offers a great opportunity to explore aspects of young children鈥檚 lives in more depth, examining current policies and practices to build on your existing knowledge. If that鈥檚 you, why not take this opportunity to boost your skills and knowledge? You鈥檒l be able to link your newly-learned theories and research with your practice from the start, boosting your contribution to your workplace and enhancing your career prospects. Taught by experienced tutors who are passionate about using insights from research to enhance the lives of young children and their families. This course is offered full-time in both January and September, applicants joining with credits from a PG Cert or PGCE can opt to take the course part-time in September.

How you'll be assessed

We use a range of assessment methods to demonstrate your developing knowledge and theoretical understanding. Assessments will also expand the skills you鈥檒l need in practice to best support young children and their families. And you鈥檒l be able to show how you鈥檝e developed specialist knowledge in your chosen area of expertise to support your own career success and that of others in our field. Instead of sitting exams, you鈥檒l benefit from preparing high quality written assignments. These build up throughout each module, with opportunities for peer and tutor feedback as you learn. You鈥檒l develop core strengths in valuable appraisal methods, such as the ability to carry out individual and collaborative critical reflections. You鈥檒l also carry out enquiries applied directly to your specific interests and context. Each assignment will progress your learning, assessing your ability to communicate with clarity, both verbally and in written reports aimed at a range of audiences.

Careers

Are you working with children, or do you intend to work with children in the future? If so, our MA will enhance your career. It provides a highly relevant professional development opportunity for you whether you鈥檙e an early years or pre-school teacher, a manager in a childcare setting, a family support worker or an early years consultant. It鈥檚 also a great starting point if you鈥檙e looking for a career in academia and is a step towards a PhD or EdD. Whatever your background, interests and professional needs, you鈥檒l learn how to make a difference by engaging collaboratively. And it鈥檚 up to you how far you take this course. Professionally recognised intermediate awards (PG Cert and PG Dip) are available if you don鈥檛 wish to study for the full MA.
