Early Years course withdrawn

We would like to announce that the Early Years course has been withdrawn from offer (see attached  letter for further details including  alteration  options for training).

The Courses Department at Mary Hare, partnered to the University of Hertfordshire have undertaken significant due diligence and discussion about the sustainability of the MA/PGDip Deaf Education Studies (Early Years) course, and although none of our team want to see it end, we have come to the conclusion that it can no longer be sustained. COVID-19 recruitment circumstances have added to previous sustainability issues and we will no longer offer the course from August 2020.

We are very glad that the Early Years course fulfilled a specific need in the UK for more than a decade by upskilling professionals to meet the demands of the Newborn Hearing Screen Programme and intervention needs. We will continue to offer the ToD and the Educational Audiology courses into the future. We realise this is disappointing news and suggest enrolling on the Educational Audiology course as an alternative. Each module has scope within which to focus studies and particularly the assignment on an Early Years facet. Students may enrol for stand-alone modules or for a PGDip to gain a qualification in Educational Audiology.
