Academic Overview:
Designed for practitioners in early years education (birth to age 8), this programme deepens understanding of pedagogy, leadership, research and policy in early childhood contexts. Students critically examine curriculum frameworks such as Te Whāriki, engage with issues of inclusion, culture, and leadership, and may choose a research or coursework pathway. It’s suited for those aiming to become leaders, researchers or policy-influencers in early years settings.
