Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood Studies)

Course Details

This nationally accredited course is designed to graduate early childhood educators who are competent teachers ready to work in schools and a range of early childhood settings. A key feature of this course is connecting theory with practice. Graduates will have the knowledge and be able to develop early childhood educational programs for children from birth to 8 years of age. Partnerships with over 1,000 schools and early childhood settings allow Pre-Service Teachers to gain experience in diverse settings, including public, private, metropolitan, regional and remote contexts working with children, families and communities. In addition, a distinguishing feature of this course is that Pre-Service Teachers have the opportunity in the fourth year of their course to specialise and broaden their knowledge and skills in an area of interest. Units are also available in the degree that enables Pre-Service Teachers to complete accreditation requirements to teach in Catholic schools. Final year Pre-Service Teachers can apply for a place in the internship program in either a school or early learning setting.
