Bachelor of Arts / Bachelor of Teaching<br />
(Early Childhood Education)<br />
Early childhood teachers are among the most influential <strong>and</strong><br />
important members of the community. The teaching <strong>and</strong> care<br />
that they offer lay the foundation for success in education, <strong>and</strong><br />
in life.<br />
The four-year BA/BTeach(ECE) degree provides you with a<br />
BA majoring in Early Childhood Studies <strong>and</strong> a specialised<br />
early childhood teaching qualification. The conjoint degree<br />
is taught at both the Karori <strong>and</strong> Kelburn Campuses, but the<br />
programme is arranged to minimise travel between the two.<br />
The BA/BTeach(ECE) is the first conjoint degree programme<br />
in New Zeal<strong>and</strong> designed specifically for early childhood<br />
teachers, <strong>and</strong> was developed in consultation with teachers,<br />
employers <strong>and</strong> early childhood organisations. Applicants are<br />
assessed by the <strong>Faculty</strong> of Education for suitability to the<br />
teaching profession. This involves meeting set criteria, having<br />
supportive referees, making declarations about any criminal<br />
convictions or health <strong>and</strong> disability issues <strong>and</strong> successfully<br />
taking part in an assessment exercise.<br />
Graduates of the BA/BTeach(ECE) degree can continue their<br />
studies with <strong>Victoria</strong>’s Postgraduate Certificate <strong>and</strong> Diploma<br />
in Education <strong>and</strong> Professional Development, or Master of<br />
Education programme. The degree leads to careers in a<br />
range of education roles including teaching in kindergartens,<br />
education <strong>and</strong> care centres <strong>and</strong> Kōhanga Reo.<br />
