A programme of study founded on a commitment to babies and young children as people with agency and unique capacities, and to their overall wellbeing from the prenatal period.

Our priority is ensuring that you graduate with a professional skillset. This incorporates;

Strengthening your awareness and understanding of the influence of social, cultural and political contexts on young children's lives and explore how you take account of them into action.

Learning advocacy skills for the well-being of young children and their families and develop effective leadership and collaboration techniques across disciplines in the field of early childhood.

There is a deep commitment to working in partnership with families and communities and to the development of students’ professionalism, advocacy and leadership.

How you'll learn

Students will first look at babies' and children’s capacity for play, how they think, and how they communicate their ideas and emotions though a variety of ‘languages’ such as talk, mark-making, drawing, construction, movement, music and dance. This is studied from a variety of theoretical perspectives, critically looking at the values and assumptions underpinning these views.

Career options

Graduates of MA Early Childhood Studies will be prepared for careers in professional practice and leadership in:

  • Early childhood
  • Education
  • Health and social welfare.

Other possibilities are:

  • Policy making
  • Administration of early childhood services
  • Research and developing the early years workforce in further and higher education.
