Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Teaching (Early Childhood Education) (BA/BTeach(ECE))

Please note: This page refers to the 2012 academic year unless otherwise specified.

The four-year BA/BTeach(ECE) degree provides you with a BA majoring in Early Childhood Studies and a specialised early childhood teaching qualification. The conjoint degree is taught at both the Karori and Kelburn Campuses, but the programme is arranged to minimise travel between the two.

The BA/BTeach(ECE) is the first conjoint degree programme in New Zealand designed specifically for early childhood teachers, and was developed in consultation with teachers, employers and early childhood organisations. Admission to the BA/BTeach(ECE) involves attending an assessment exercise and providing additional information and referee contact details.

Graduates of the BA/BTeach(ECE) degree can continue their studies with Victoria's Postgraduate Certificate and Diploma in Education and Professional Development, or Master of Education programme. The degree leads to careers in a range of education roles including teaching in kindergartens, education and care centres and Kōhanga Reo.

A B- average is required to continue in the BA/BTeach(ECE).
