University of Reading

Study BA Children's Development and Learning (Top Up) and develop your skills in the children’s workforce with a vocational degree that relates directly to your work. This course is a work-based route to a broad degree in education that enables students to progress to teacher training (such as EYTS or QTS). The majority of your assignments will be based around the tasks you complete as part of your job, enabling you to apply your skills directly to the workplace. This course enables you to convert a Foundation Degree in Children's Development and Learning (or equivalent) to a full BA undergraduate degree. You do not need to have taken your initial degree through the University of Reading's partner colleges. This course is aimed at education practitioners who are working with children in an educational setting for at least 2.5 days per week. All lessons are interactive and underpinned by theoretical information and research. You will cover a range of topics including child development, reflective leadership, and policy/legislation concerning children. You will also complete a dissertation on a topic of your choice.
