Bachelor of Early Childhood Education (Birth to 5)

The Bachelor of Early Childhood Education Degree (BECE) is designed to provide graduate early childhood teachers with the knowledge, skills and understanding to provide a quality early childhood education and care to young children in Australia. The course is designed to support childhood teaching students in building a deep understanding of child development, early childhood contexts, educational issues, teaching theories and considerations for the diverse needs of children, five years old and under. There is a vast opportunity in studying this early childhood education course either as an undergraduate or even for your professional development. A continuing shortage of well qualified staff in the early childhood sector in Australia makes it only more vital that we continue providing this course for students interested in educating the future.
