Nationally Recognised Higher Education

The Master of Education course is flexible and innovative and can be custom designed to your needs. Our world-class academics are leaders in their fields who will engage you in deep professional learning and reflection to expand your knowledge and skills.

The Master of Education, Early Childhood Specialisation is ideal for professionals working in early education and care settings who want to expand their knowledge of working with young children, families and communities.

The Early Childhood specialisation prepares professionals working in early education and care settings for an industry requiring highly trained professionals who can specifically support the diverse needs of young children.

Research evidence has consistently proven that the experiences and environments of children in the early years are important for strong social-emotional development and positive learning outcomes through school and into adulthood, and influence children’s health and wellbeing across their lives. At QUT, professionals working in early education and care settings are challenged to learn about how to plan, create and implement evidence-based learning environments that will provide the best possible outcomes for children, families, and the communities in which they live.
