On this MA Education in Early Childhood Studies, you'll have opportunities to evaluate and critically analyse issues and challenges whilst focusing on political, ethical, cultural and social issues both in early childhood and in education in general. The course draws on theoretical insights into the study of early childhood which challenge and inspire. Childrens right to play and to learn through play are important features throughout the course.You'll explore perspectives of play and creativity and the importance of research in early childhood education. You will consider ethical and playful ways to engage with children, their families and communities, as well as theoretical perspectives underpinning engagement in those areas. Governments worldwide are now making early childhood education a priority and increasing their investment in provision for young children. Youll acquire specialist expertise in an area of education that is rapidly expanding and opening up new career opportunities.
Some students apply for our MA having completed their PGCE with the intention of postponing their entry to the profession, whereas others apply before making a decision whether to become a teacher. Some are already teachers who wish to develop their understanding of the role. The content and subject matter of your first degree is open. Some students have educational studies as a first degree, while others studied subjects from marine biology to music, or are experts in alternative fields. Students are expected to have an Honours degree from a recognised Higher Education Institution in the UK, although we often accept applicants with appropriate experience that we consider sufficient and comparable, or an equivalent degree from overseas. Equivalence of overseas students' academic qualifications is assessed by NARIC.
