About The Course
About The Course
Whether you’re looking to professionally progress or wanting to kickstart your career in early years education, then an MA Early Years Education will open many opportunities for you.
As education continues to evolve as the importance of early child development plays an essential role in children’s future success, this MA will deepen your knowledge and understanding of this critical time in children’s lives.
Focusing on the 0-8 age range, you’ll delve into pedagogy, politics, and theory as you explore critical questions related to this topic. Alongside this, you’ll develop your academic skills through critical thinking, research, and self-reflection as you engage with up-to-date theory and practice within early childhood education.
What’s more, modules throughout the course will prepare you for your dissertation, teaching you the investigative and methodological skills needed to undertake a piece of independent research into a specialist area of your choice.
