This course can be studied in our Swansea SA1 campus or our Carmarthen campus, depending on which location the student prefers.Early Years Education and Care (2 years) is designed for those already working in the childcare and education sector, and allows them to study flexibly around their work commitments. Lectures are delivered in evenings and occasional Saturdays in order to enable students to carry on working while completing their degree and students will develop their understanding of the practice and theory of early years education and care giving them a full and rounded understanding of the subject.The programme has been developed to provide opportunities for learning about all aspects of young children’s education and care. The programme gives opportunities to link practical activities and experiences in the work environment to theories relating to children’s education and care. Learning takes place through group discussions, workshops, study visits as well as lectures in order to develop a knowledge and understanding of a range of relevant topics. There is an emphasis on hands-on learning in order to support understanding of the links between theory and practice within the early years.
