**1st in the UK for our research impact in Education in REF 2021 (Times Higher Education)<br/>10th in the UK for Education (The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2024)<br/>8th in the UK for Education (Complete University Guide 2025)**<br/><br/>Do you want to work in teaching or management in the UK, or in international Early Years educational contexts? <br/><br/>This MA is ideal if you’re an international student wishing to explore early years education in the UK. You’ll study both the practical and theoretical aspects of education in the zero-to-five-years age range. Early Years learning primarily focuses on the following ideas:<br/><br/><br/>- what constitutes ‘quality’ in Early Years education?<br/><br/><br/>- equity, inclusion and justice for the pre-school child and the wider family<br/><br/><br/>- ideas of communication, imagination, language and literacy, and provision for the bi/trilingual child<br/><br/><br/>- understandings of early mathematical and scientific development<br/><br/><br/>- discourses of nurture, care and attachment.<br/><br/><br/>At Sussex, we’re proud of our innovative approaches to teaching and education courses. We’ve got a network of over 150 local secondary, primary and nursery schools working together with the University to provide work placements for our education students. <br/><br/>We understand that deciding where and what to study is a very important decision. We’ll make all reasonable efforts to provide you with the courses, services and facilities described in this prospectus. However, if we need to make material changes, for example due to government or regulatory requirements, or unanticipated staff changes, we’ll let you know as soon as possible.
