Master of Education (MEd) – On Campus
February 14, 2023
Tell us about yourself and your experience at UBC so far.
As an international student, my journey to get to the program started years ago. Having a bachelor’s in psychology but most of my experience working with young children both as a preschool teacher as well as a therapist, I kept wandering about which path to take and looked through many different programs and schools.
Why did you decide to pursue further education in ECE?
When I found the ECED program at UBC I realized it was the perfect option to specialize in the early years’ education as I have always wanted; this master’s would offer me an opportunity to further explore issues I had faced throughout my practicum and would help me develop the skills I need to become a better educator. So far, it has been a challenging and enriching experience, where I have learned and further developed ideas. I feel really supported by my advisor, as well as by the rest of my teachers and peers.
I have found a true interest in the field, and I have been encouraged to be a change agent during and after the program. I am excited about the rest of my journey in the program and about the connections I am making each day.
