Postgraduate Diploma in Education (Early Childhood Education)

Degree graduates with an interest in the early childhood sector have an opportunity to enhance their knowledge in research and leadership with this postgraduate diploma that also serves as a pathway to our Masters’ qualifications.

Applicants for the Postgraduate Diploma in Education (Early Childhood Education) must have a Bachelor degree at Level 7 (360 credits), a Postgraduate Diploma or a Master’s degree, or equivalent. Applicants who do not hold a bachelor’s degree or postgraduate qualification but can demonstrate extensive professional experience, equivalent skills, and the capacity to undertake postgraduate study may be considered for special admission. Where an applicant’s qualification has been undertaken outside of New Zealand, NZTC has discretion to determine equivalency to the New Zealand qualification. Equivalency is assessed on a case-by-case basis. All applicants must declare any physical or learning disability, or diverse needs that may impact on their performance as a student.
