Course summary

This MA is ideal if you’re an international student wishing to explore early years education in the UK. You’ll study both the practical and theoretical aspects of education in the zero-to-five-years age range. Early Years learning primarily focuses on the following ideas: what constitutes ‘quality’ in Early Years education? equity, inclusion and justice for the pre-school child and the wider family ideas of communication, imagination, language and literacy, and provision for the bi/trilingual child understandings of early mathematical and scientific development discourses of nurture, care and attachment. At Sussex, we’re proud of our innovative approaches to teaching and education courses. We’ve got a network of over 150 local secondary, primary and nursery schools working together with the University to provide work placements for our education students.
