What it is	You study how young children develop and learn, combining education theory with psychology. Unlike a general education degree, this program focuses specifically on the early years — typically birth to age eight — and prepares you for work in childcare, preschools, or early intervention. It suits people who want to support children's growth during their most formative period and understand the thinking behind quality early childhood practice.	This program combines the study of how people learn with the design and use of technology to support that learning. You'll take courses in both education and psychology to understand learning theory, then apply it to educational tools and digital platforms. It suits people interested in education who want to focus on the technology side rather than classroom teaching.	You earn a Science degree in one of several subjects — Computer Science, Mathematics, Environmental Studies, Psychology, or Biology — while simultaneously completing teacher training to become certified to teach junior and intermediate grades. This direct-entry stream combines both degrees in one program, so you graduate ready to teach right away instead than doing them separately. It suits people certain they want to teach a science subject at the middle or high school level and want to complete both qualifications together.
