The Master of Teaching (Early Childhood) uses a multi-disciplinary approach to connect research, theory, and practice through coursework, professional placements, and research pathways, preparing early childhood professionals to respond to the communities where they will work.

The course focuses on learning and teaching for children aged birth to eight years and provides our graduates with a qualification for registration with the Victoria Institute of Teaching (VIT) to teach in early childhood settings up to five years of age.

Support while you learn

Our teacher candidates are successful because of the extra support and guidance they get when leading a class for the first time.

You will receive ongoing support – unlike any other university – both on campus and while on placement. As you learn, you will be supported by a Mentor Teacher and a Clinical Teaching Specialist.

Evidence-Based Teaching

Our Master of Teaching is the only teaching degree in Australia to use an Evidence-Based Teaching framework.

The Master of Teaching (Early Childhood) qualifys graduates to work in Australian early childhood education and care settings with children aged birth to five years.
