This flexible part-time Master’s aims to develop your professional knowledge of early years education and care while expanding your skills as an early years practitioner so you can support learning across a wide range of practice settings.
The course explores current theory and practice in early years education with a particular focus on the social constructions of childhood and the learning opportunities available for children in early years settings.
Following this you have access to a range of optional units that allow you to focus on specific areas of interest such as leadership; current policy; coaching and mentoring; or the diverse needs of pupils in early years educational settings. This allows you to explore and develop your skills and understanding in an area appropriate to your own practice or experience.
