The course can be undertaken as full time by applying to UCAS, part time or distance learning by applying via our website. The Foundation Degree Early Years and Primary Practice (FdA EYPP) is an employment related higher education qualification which offers anyone working with children between 0-12 years of age, a mix of work-related specialist skills and academic study. The course provides you with an opportunity to enhance your knowledge and understanding of theoretical ideas associated with the care, learning and development of young children between 0-12 years of age and to develop your ability to apply your knowledge to enhance all aspects of your practice. The course develops the values and beliefs necessary for those working in the Early and Primary Years with the essential knowledge and understanding of regulatory and legislative frameworks in supporting children’s development. Each course module will develop your ability to explore, discuss, analyse, evaluate, and develop your practice regarding theory, research, policy and recognised good practice. Distance learning is available by applying direct on our website. Upon successful completion of the FdA EYPP degree course, you then also have the opportunity to progress onto the BA (Hons) Early Years and Primary Practice (progression route), an excellent pathway into teacher training. Around 90% of our FdA EYPP degree graduates choose to progress onto the BA (Hons) EYPP degree course as many aspire to become Primary school teachers. Yes, the above is correct, (two graduations) upon successful completion of the FdA EYPP (two years) you will graduate with a foundation degree, followed by one further year of study for the BA (Hons) EYPP and then graduate for the second time.
