Master of Teaching (Early Childhood)

About

Highlights

Queensland’s #1 choice for early education courses.
Prepares you to become a teacher if you already have a degree.
Early childhood teachers work in early childhood education and care services, and Prep to Year 3 in primary schools.

Become a teacher in just two years if you already have a bachelor degree. 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.

As an early childhood specialist, you will be prepared to work as a qualified teacher in early learning centres, kindergarten and Prep to Year 3 in primary school. A masters qualification can set you up for leadership roles in the early childhood profession. Your qualification can also allow you to work in other locations in Australia and overseas.

Professional recognition

This course meets professional teaching standards for the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership, and Queensland College of Teachers. Graduates are also recognised as qualified early childhood teachers under the Australian Children’s Education and Care Quality Authority framework. Applicants seeking teacher registration in Australia may be required to provide evidence of English Language proficiency levels. Further information is available from relevant registering bodies.

Early exit

If you decide you do not wish to complete a course that leads to teacher registration you can consider an option to exit with a Graduate Diploma in Educational Studies as an alternative education qualification. This qualification does not meet requirements of the Australian Children's Education and Care Quality Authority framework.
