What will I learn?

Early Years education enriches learning in children from birth to five years by giving children the opportunity to maximise their potential and develop a foundation for lifelong learning. You will be equipped with the latest education technology, including access to UOW’s new Early Start facility, which connects our Wollongong and regional campuses with early childhood education and care services across NSW and with partners in national and international institutions. The Bachelor of Education – The Early Years is for individuals who wish to enter the world of education as an early childhood educator. This program is available as either a four-year degree (on campus or flexible delivery available) and as a two-year accelerated distance program in developed partnership with Early Learning and Care Council of Australia (ELACCA) and the NSW Department of Education.
