International Master in Early Childhood Education and Care (IMEC) – Extended deadline

The international Master program in Early Childhood Education & Care (IMEC) is a unique two-year, full-time Master program under the European Union’s Erasmus Mundus scheme focusing on international early childhood education and care.

IMEC has been running for the last four years and to date over 30 students have successfully completed and graduated with this degree. In addition, there are a further 28 students pursuing their studies in the first or second year of the program.

Regrettably, IMEC is offered for the last time starting August 2014.

Consequently, it has been decided that the deadline for applications be extended, allowing fee-paying applicants the opportunity to follow IMEC.  Unfortunately, this possibility is only open for European students.
