Course structure
Students undertake 150 points of compulsory subjects in the first three semesters, and then choose a course of study worth fifty points in the final semester.
The first three semesters leading to the Graduate Diploma in Teaching (Early Childhood) are built on four strands:
- Professional Practice
- The Developing Learner
- The Developing Curriculum
- The Developing Professional
Students take one subject in each strand in each semester.
Students then choose a course of study worth 50 points in the final semester. The final semester of study can be completed as the dual registration option which means that students will be awarded the Master of Teaching (Early Years).
