BA (Hons) Early Childhood Studies (including foundation year)

This four-year degree course is designed for students who wish to pursue a career in early childhood care, education, or advisory settings but may not currently meet the entry requirements for the standard three-year programme. The course includes an intensive foundation year (Year 0) that focuses on developing essential academic skills, such as writing, research, and critical thinking, while exploring themes like identity and social justice. You will benefit from small, interactive group teaching and dedicated support from tutors, ensuring you are fully prepared for the subsequent three years of your degree. Following the foundation year, you will study the same modules as those on the standard degree path. This course is an excellent choice for those looking to build their confidence and gain the necessary skills to advocate for children's rights and wellbeing. The institution provides a supportive learning environment, and you will have the opportunity to connect with students from various disciplines, broadening your perspectives throughout your studies.
