Master’s Programme in Early Childhood Education and Care

The Master's Programme in Early Childhood Education is for graduates with a preschool teacher's or teacher's degree, or with studies in listed social science subjects, who want to progress in their careers and prepare for doctoral studies. It gives advanced knowledge of different scientific specialisations about children of preschool age, and of the preschool as the first step in the education system. Students learn to search for and critically analyse information from different source types, and to work interactively with children and other actors in interventions and experiments. The programme develops the ability to reflect and act on both scientific and practice-close perspectives. Graduates can work in children's rights organisations, as investigators, or as business developers in municipalities and authorities.
