Overview
Early childhood, the quality of education, provision and care, and the roles and responsibilities of all those involved with young children, parents and families, all have a significant influence on children’s achievement and life chances.
The last decade has seen the wider development of early years provision, changes and challenges in aspects of education and care, and the recognition that early childhood and children’s experiences must be supported by a highly qualified workforce.
Government legislation, policy and research have raised the profile of early childhood, education and care and established the requirement for recognised professional qualifications for all those working in the field of early years in public, voluntary and private sectors. This three-year undergraduate course prepares you to work in this exciting profession.
Study
In the first semester you will study three modules.
The Independent Learner module supports your transition to studying at university and will help you to navigate the challenges you may face as an early year’s professional.
You will also explore a module on child development. This module aims to develop knowledge and understanding of children’s learning and development. The module will focus on language, cognition, brain, physical, social and emotional aspects of development, including attachment, transitions and self-regulation.
Finally, you will explore the constructs of childhood discussing ideas around culture, discourses and historical changes in childhood.
