About

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’ll 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 Macquarie’s master degrees in early childhood education.

Admission criteria

  • An Australian level 7 bachelor qualification or recognised equivalent.
  • English Language Proficiency: Academic IELTS of 7.0 overall with minimum 7.0 in each band, or equivalent.

Contact Future Students if you have any queries regarding the admission criteria listed: email postgraduate@mq.edu.au or call 9850 6767.
