This industry-relevant, four-year, professional degree is solely focused on teaching children from birth to eight years of age. The employment opportunities after graduating from this degree are diverse and you’ll be able to thrive as a contemporary teacher in three settings - junior primary, preschool, and childcare. 

In South Australia qualified early childhood teachers are paid the same across pre-school and school settings. 

The curriculum is practical in nature, and you will begin teaching placements during your first six months. This focus on industry experience will continue throughout your studies, and by graduation you will have completed 110 days of field-based placements. 

You will also develop an in-depth understanding of the principles and concepts relating to early childhood development and learning, as well as leadership and advocacy in matters relating to early childhood.

This degree is based at Mawson Lakes campus where the primary specialism offered is Arts. 

If you would like to study a specialism in English or Mathematics/Science, Languages or Religious Education, you will need to select the degree based at the Magill campus (Arts is also offered at Magill campus).

The primary specialisms available externally include Arts and English. 

Please note that while your home campus may offer specific specialisms, you are able to study your specialism cross-campus. 

The Bachelor of Early Childhood Education (Honours) meets the Teachers Registration Board of South Australia (the Board) requirements for the purpose of teacher registration in South Australia and the requirements of the national approach to the Accreditation of Initial Teacher Education Programs in Australia.
