Nursery World - Continuing professional development: Aim for an MA

Karen Faux takes a look at courses offered by Kingston University

In the last ten years, Kingston University has won plaudits for its range of flexible degree programmes designed to provide routes into early years leadership and management, as well as specialisms such as special educational needs. Its courses aim to keep one step ahead of developments in the sector, and students benefit from the university's strong links with local authorities, schools and employers.

Take-up for its PgCert/PgDip/MA Early Years Education pathway is growing, particularly from those who have already studied to achieve Kingston's early years foundation degree and BA.

This higher level study equips individuals for leadership roles in both the private and maintained sectors. It covers a broad spectrum of early years-related topics such as EYFS and KS1 tensions, inclusion, equality and diversity, supporting children's personal, social and emotional development, English as an additional language, and child-chosen, child-initiated and child-negotiated learning.
