MA Early Years

The course is designed for students in the early year's sector and those new to the industry; it provides a fantastic opportunity to do a substantive early years research project for your dissertation.

Comprising four taught modules and a dissertation, MA Early Years enables you to explore mentoring, leadership, notions of quality, and research methods within Early Years. You'll shape your pedagogy and develop the skills to coach and support others.

The course provides a high-quality CPD opportunity for those working in the Early Years or with previous experience in the sector. In addition, it is an in-depth introduction for anyone wanting to begin a career in the Early Years with ambitions to move quickly into leadership roles.

MA Early Years is delivered two days a week for the first six weeks, followed by a block of teaching on campus in the spring, plus one day a month and online evening tutorials. You then gain practical experience either in your workplace or on campus.
