The Master of Teaching (Early Childhood) is designed with a new type of early childhood professional in mind – one who operates in a multi-disciplinary field involving care, education and health.
This course focuses on learning and teaching for children aged birth to eight years, and can be completed through either full-time or part-time study.
Both the Graduate Diploma of Teaching (Early Childhood) and the Master of Teaching (Early Childhood) have been approved by the Australian Children’s Education and Care Quality Authority (ACECQA),qualifying graduates to work in Australian early childhood education and care settings with children aged birth to five years.
Graduates are also eligible to apply for registration as an early childhood teacher with the Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT).
If you intend to teach outside Victoria, we recommend you check registration requirements with the relevant body.
