What will I learn?

Recent research has established the importance and quality of learning from birth. Now is a really important time to consider how children explore their world. This degree in early childhood considers ideas that are central for children's lives and their education, as well as the wider business world. This means graduates in early childhood are sought after for a wide range of employment opportunities. BA(Hons) Early Childhood is an intellectually demanding and enjoyable course. You'll examine issues around children's place in society, education, special educational needs, children's learning and development, language and reasoning and environments for children. Exploring issues affecting children between birth and eight years old, you'll link theory to practice, and understand social, psychological and philosophical factors in children's lives, learning and development. Undertaking work-related experience is a central aspect of the degree. You'll spend time in early childhood settings in each year of the course.
