The Master of Education (Early Childhood) provides an in-depth study of theories and practices in early childhood education.

Issues are addressed across varied paradigms in contemporary teaching and learning, extending the expertise of early childhood professionals. The coursework comprises a core course in Educational Inquiry, three required specialisation courses covering child development from zero to eight years, issues and trends in early childhood education, and research investigations, plus elective courses in assessment, curriculum design, diversity and pedagogy.
