The MA in Education (Early Years) is designed specifically for practitioners working in the early years sector and can be studied part-time alongside and in support of your day-to-day role. Each module builds upon the experience and knowledge that you bring from your professional outlook. The diverse, multi-disciplinary nature of the sector which encompasses education, childcare, family support, social work, and health is acknowledged through the construction and arrangement of modules that allow flexibility to explore theory related to specific, real-life examples from your practice.

The course is work-based by nature and structured in stages, leading to the Masters award which will make a significant contribution to raising the levels of qualification across the Early Years sector.

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.
