Entry to your honours year is based on application and merit.

Early Years education enriches learning in children from birth to five years by giving children the opportunity to maximise their potential and develop a foundation for lifelong learning. It focuses on the significance of early education to foster children’s health, development and wellbeing.

This will give you invaluable sector experience and professional connections that will enhance your employment pathways and opportunities.

The degree will culminate in the production of a thesis or other project work that disseminates your research findings and the results from your project and research inquiry.

You will also have the opportunity to undertake exchange, study abroad and international cultural immersion programs.
