Overview

Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood Studies)

This nationally accredited course is designed to graduate early childhood educators who are competent teachers ready to work in schools and a range of early learning centres.

A key feature of the Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood Studies) course at ECU is connecting theory with practice

Graduates will have the knowledge and be able to develop early childhood educational programs for children from birth to 8 years of age.

Partnerships with over 1,000 schools and early learning centres allow Pre-Service Teachers to gain experience in diverse settings, including public, private, metropolitan, regional and remote contexts working with children, families and communities.

Final-year Pre-Service Teachers can apply for a place in the internship program in either a school or early learning setting.

Internship option

The internship equips Pre-Service Teachers with the mastery and knowledge to lead their own classrooms.

Students will be required to attend the school or early learning setting for 4 days per week (8 hours each day) during term 3.
