Macquarie University

Graduate Certificate of Early Childhood

When children are exposed to positive educational experiences prior to school, their learning capabilities and in turn their chances of excelling in school are greatly improved. Macquarie has a strong reputation and long history in early childhood teaching and research, and you will be taught by active researchers in early childhood. The Graduate Certificate of Early Childhood will develop your understanding of contemporary research based early childhood principles and practice in selected areas. On successful completion, it offers an opportunity for students with an Australian bachelor degree or equivalent in a discipline other than early childhood education, to qualify for entry into Macquaries master degrees in early childhood education.
