As a general rule, the field work is conducted in relation to ECEC practice in countries in Southern Africa (except South Africa)  in collaboration with QMUC’s partner institutions.

The examination is provided by QMUC, and integrated into the education plan of Bachelor of Early Childhood Teacher Education
