Full time, Level 8, honours degree, catering for those aspiring to enter the Early Childhood Education and Care sector from Leaving Certificate, further education or mature student paths. Those currently working in the ECEC sector may be interested in the flexible BA in Early Chidhood Teaching and Learning (MH801).
Why choose this degree?
The programme is closely linked with Early Childhood Education and Care practice, and its staff are experienced in the development, delivery and advocacy of Early Childhood Care and Education.
Work placements take place in Tusla-notified Early Childhood Education and Care settings. The total hours of placement each year is 420 hours in total. This is normally done on either one or two days per week, as well as block placements (one or two weeks at a time). Normally students access their own Tusla notified setting using their own contacts but in the event that this is not possible the University makes the necessary arrangements.
It is a progressive Level 8 degree, supporting the development of outstanding early childhood educators.
