The Bachelor of Education (ECE) prepares graduates to work in either early learning centres (0-3 years) or in the early years of schooling (4-8 years). The course is largely sequential and developmental in nature. The first year of the course focuses on the 0-3 years age group and culminates in the completion of a four week block practicum of professional experience in an early learning centre.
