Course summary
Life comes at us fast in our early years, shaping the perceptions and realities of children and early childhood in our society and across the world. The nature of childhood, of young children and their families, and the provision made for them are explored in this degree, designed to respond to developments in the field of early childhood, both nationally and internationally. The programme is for anyone with an interest in children’s early years development, and those wanting a career working with children aged 0-8. The degree prepares you for employment in the expanding early years sector, equips you with a range of transferable skills and includes field trips in the UK and Europe. It also provides the opportunity for you to achieve an additional qualification, the Early Childhood Graduate Practitioner Certificate (ECGPC).
