    Bachelor of Education - The Early Years (Honours)

    About

    Students wishing to undertake the Honours program must be enrolled in either the Bachelor of Education - The Early Years or the Bachelor of Education - The Early Years (Dean's Scholar).

    The honours program is an alternative option for students wishing to undertake research during the fourth year of either the Bachelor of Education - The Early Years pass degree or the Bachelor of Education - The Early Years (Dean's Scholar) degree. Entry to your honours year is based on application and merit.

    Early Years education enriches learning in children from birth to five years by giving children the opportunity to maximise their potential and develop a foundation for lifelong learning. It focuses on the significance of early education to foster children’s health, development and wellbeing.

    Throughout the degree you will spend up to 16 weeks teaching in Early Childhood Education and Care Centres and two weeks in the Community and Family sector, complementary to the mentoring experience within the Professional Partners in Practice program. This will give you invaluable sector experience and professional connections that will enhance your employment pathways and opportunities.

    See the course handbook for more information.

    Working closely with two supervisors, you will undertake a major project during the program, you will undertake special experiences for research work either in the field or that examine other aspects of education. The degree will culminate in the production of a thesis or other project work that disseminates your research findings and the results from your project and research inquiry.

    You will also have the opportunity to undertake exchange, study abroad and international cultural immersion programs.
