Admission Requirements
Applicants will normally be expected to have an undergraduate degree and be in current employment (paid or voluntary) in an early years service or setting.
However, we recognise that the early years sector includes many individuals who have positions of responsibility without having followed the traditional academic route. Therefore we also welcome applicants who can demonstrate 'graduateness' - that is, they have have developed equivalent qualities, skills and understanding, and can bring significant professional knowledge and experience to the programme. This is determined via a written assessment.
We will accept RPL applications on this route prior to enrolment.
