The process to discontinue the Master’s Degree in Early Childhood: Perspectives and Lines of Intervention will begin in the 2022-23 academic year due to the introduction of the Master’s Degree in Psychoeducational Research and Intervention, which was approved on 26th April 2021.

Discontinuation Calendar

• Initial academic year of discontinuation process: 2022-23
• Second academic year of discontinuation process: 2023-24
• Final academic year when the programme is fully discontinued: 2024-25.

Student Admission

The Master’s Degree in Early Childhood: Perspectives and Lines of Intervention will not be admitting any new students from the 2022-23 academic year.

Re-enrolment for Continuing Students

Students currently on the Master’s Degree in Early Childhood: Perspectives and Lines of Intervention will have two academic years (2022-23 and 2023-24) to pass the subjects required to be awarded the degree.

Students may enrol for the first time on a subject as long as they were enrolled in the previous year on any subject for the same or subsequent academic year.

In exceptional cases, students who have reached the limit of two enrolments for a subject may request a last enrolment (without taking classes) in the following year. This enrolment must be authorised by the relevant Pro-Vice-Chancellor for teaching, who will make a decision after consulting with the programme coordinator.

The enrolment deadlines for each academic year will be published on the Centre for Postgraduate Studies website.

Teaching

The subjects on the Master’s Degree in Early Childhood: Perspectives and Lines of Intervention will be offered without any teaching, except the Master's Thesis (10913 and 10915), the Internship (10914) and the Practical Placements (10912). Enrolments without classes will give students the right to attend tutorials with the allocated tutor and to be assessed.

The enrolment fee for the subject without teaching will be the same as the public fee that is published annually.

Students currently on the Master’s Degree in Early Childhood: Perspectives and Lines of Intervention who have not passed the requirements to be awarded their degree in the stated timeline, or those who simply wish to do so, may request a curriculum adaptation before the old curriculum is discontinued, in accordance with the following equivalences.
