Course summary

Being involved in the educational and personal growth of children can offer a highly fulfilling profession. This course specifically concentrates on children aged 0-8, with the goal of equipping you to make a valuable contribution to early childhood development. The Early Childhood Development and Learning BA (Hons) degree course emphasises the exploration of policies, procedures, exemplary approaches and hands-on learning to provide a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental aspects of child development. You’ll be delving into the international perspectives of children, evaluating diversity in development methods, analysing and understanding diverse ethnic backgrounds and educational differences, researching the comparison between different countries’ early years policies with the UK educational system and much more. Success in this field demands a combination of creativity, empathy, logical thinking and extensive knowledge, coupled with the capacity to draw upon personal life experiences. If you choose to leave the degree course after successfully passing Year 1, you will be eligible for a Higher National Certificate (HNC) in Early Childhood Development and Learning. If you choose to leave the degree course after successfully passing Year 2, you will be eligible for a Higher National Diploma (HND) in Early Childhood Development and Learning.
