Overview

Students who will follow this Early Childhood and Primary Education course at the University of Malta will specialise in Pedagogical Content Knowledge (after having obtained a first-cycle degree at first-cycle level in Content Knowledge), in Educational Context Knowledge and in Educational Research and Inquiry. These are intrinsically related to the Field Placement in schools.

Furthermore, the wider educational context will be included in the programme through Educational Themes and Creative Positive Learning Environments. The MTL bridges theory and practice thereby forming educators as reflective, inquiring and collegial professionals. It promotes teaching and learning for democracy and social justice.

Career opportunities

On completion of the MTL, you will be eligible to apply for a teacher's warrant and will be fully qualified to teach in schools and to start a career in a field related to education.

The course will also lead you to further study in the field, should you wish to obtain a degree of specialisation in Education.
