Early Years Education (with Early Years Teacher Status) MA

Do you want to work with children from birth to five years old (including Reception) in the public and private sectors? Achieve Early Years Teacher Status (EYTS) in just one year with this Masters-level course.

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.

On this MA, there are two routes available:

• an employment-based route for people already working in an Early Years setting
• a placement route for those not currently working in the sector.

This course is currently funded by the UK Government. There is currently no fee to pay for UK/EU students. There are also training bursaries if you’re on the employment-based route. Find out more on the UK Government web pages.
