Do you want a career that is rewarding and fun? Working with children can offer that. Learn about all aspects of working with children on our degree programmes. The BA (Hons) in Early Childhood Studies aims to produce graduates who deploy systematic reasoning and demonstrate effective personal and professional skills. The scope of the programme continues developing theoretical knowledge of child development and refinement of individual pedagogies alongside strategic understanding of working with children 0-8 in all sectors. Reflecting the diversity of the local sector, the degree aims to enable flexibility of professional development appropriate to different settings, improving participants’ employability and effectiveness at work. In addition, it will enable students to progress to postgraduate and professional qualifications. This course is primarily designed for face-to-face learning, with attendance during lessons for the specified hours within the validation document. However, there may be periods of study where the government advises TEC Partnership that it is not safe to open campuses, or there is limited access due to social distancing measures. If the campus is closed, TEC Partnership will deliver your sessions online and offer you the necessary support and resources remotely. If there is limited access due to social distancing measures a blended model will be adopted, with some lessons taking place in small groups and others using online sessions and support.
