Bachelor of Early Childhood Education (Birth-5), accredited by ACECQA

The Bachelor of Early Childhood Education (Birth-5) Degree (BECE) offered by Excelsia College, Sydney is designed to provide graduate early childhood teachers with the knowledge, skills and understanding to provide a quality early childhood education and care to young children in Australia.

The course is designed to support childhood teaching students in building a deep understanding of child development, early childhood contexts, educational issues, teaching theories and considerations for the diverse needs of children, five years old and under.

Master of Teaching (Primary), accredited by the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA)

It takes a big heart to teach little minds, because primary teaching is about much more than learning outcomes. As a primary teacher you’ll share in laughter, mop up tears, tie shoelaces, celebrate success and show how to learn from mistakes. Nelson Mandela was right when he said ‘education is the most powerful weapon we can use to change the world’ – you may spend a short time teaching a child, but the effects can last a lifetime. The Master of Teaching (Primary) is designed for people with a love of learning and a love of children. It takes commitment, empathy, negotiation, motivation, passion, problem-solving and understanding.

Master of Teaching (Secondary), accredited by the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA)

Teaching isn’t just a job. It’s a passion, a dedication, a commitment and a way of life. It’s a career founded in care, resourcefulness, innovation, lifelong learning and leadership. This is what the Master of Teaching (Secondary) with Excelsia is all about. Our degree is underpinned by a Christian world view and designed to give you the tools to inspire hope, ignite imagination, and instil a love of learning in the children and young adults you teach. Domestic students can choose to undertake the course fully online or study some units on campus. International students can only study on campus.

One of the best things about studying a Master of Teaching (Primary or Secondary) with Excelsia is that it’s hands-on from the word ‘go’. In any given semester you’ll study a mix of foundation units, like cultural perspectives or psychology for teachers, along with curriculum studies for example literacy, creative arts, personal development, health, physical education, English, mathematics, physics, drama, history, music and design and technology.

At Excelsia University College, our students come from all walks of life, bringing with them many different backgrounds, traditions and experiences, but they have something important in common.
