Master of Teaching (Early Childhood)

Become a teacher in just two years if you already have a bachelor degree in a course not leading to teacher registration. The course complements the content knowledge obtained from your previous qualification, and the breadth of life and other experiences you can draw on in the role of early childhood teacher. The demand for early childhood teachers puts you, as an early childhood graduate teacher, in the box seat for leadership in the early childhood education and care sector.
