Early Childhood Studies looks at strategies to nurture inclusivity and considers how creative and therapeutic approaches can provide support for children and their families.Our BA Early Childhood Studies with a Foundation Year in Humanities starts by equipping you with essential skills such as research, evaluation and communication. Passing this foundation year leads to our BA Early Childhood Studies programme, where you’ll explore the factors that influence children’s development in the UK and worldwide. You will look at topics such as children’s emotional health and their understanding of outdoor learning and sustainable practice.Unlike other courses, our programme puts a real focus on social justice and equality. From day one, you’ll start thinking about what impact these areas have on children – and in your own life.To boost your employability, you’ll complete a placement in each year. This could be in a school or nursery, but we’ve also had students who have put theory into practice at sports clubs and hospices.
