UndergraduateCourse summary
Overview An understanding of the barriers to inclusion and equity is critical if we are to ensure that children and young people achieve an enjoyable and fulfilling life. Whilst studying this foundation degree you will explore some of the factors directly related to the child or young person that influence their engagement with learning and education as well as wider issues in education or society as a whole. As a result you can make a significant difference by providing support and guidance to children and young people when they need it. As work based practice is a key part of this course you have the potential to earn whilst you learn. You will study with likeminded people across a range of other related professional roles based in your own community. This University of Worcester award is delivered by the partner institution The Learning Institute. Delivery venues range across Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Gloucestershire, London and Somerset, (though not on the University of Worcester campus). The running of the degree and of individual groups will be subject to minimum numbers. This successful partnership between the University of Worcester and the Learning Institute is well established and has been recently reviewed resulting in the latest suite of new awards on offer.
