Course summary

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. What's covered in this course? The first year of the course is reflective year, structured to balance the support of sector experts Professor Chris Pascal and Professor Tony Bertram with the guidance of specialist tutors. The focus of the year is professional practice and, through two academic assignments, you will reflect upon your own specialism within early years and consider how you might influence change. You are invited to specialise in areas such as Leadership, Music, Creativity and the Arts, Mentoring, and Nurturing Childhoods. Specialist tutors work alongside Chris and Tony to introduce you to the nuanced debate and specific considerations of these areas and support you in reflecting on your own practice.
