The Foundation degree in Early Years and Childhood Studies is an exciting programme aimed at those working, or wishing to work, with children aged 0- 11 years. Links between theory and practice will be explored as well as the key issues that impact on children’s development. The changing view of childhood will also be studied as well as the implications of safeguarding for children and practitioners. The course is suitable as a pathway to primary school teaching (you must also achieve GCSE Maths, English and Science). We welcome applications from those working within the childcare sector and from those who may not have child care experience but wish to enter this field. Employment or a voluntary placement is required as part for this course. Whist this is a full-time course, typically this course generally only requires 1-2 days on campus attendance, supported by self-directed study. This means you can continue to work alongside your studies and balance other commitments.
