Early Years Care and Education - BA (Hons)

University Centre South Essex

The BA (Hons) Early Years Education and Care Programme provides students with an option of career choices in which professional skills used within the early years industry (0 – 7 years) and beyond are investigated, developed and reflected upon. The programme is underpinned by three stands Theoretical knowledge, Research Methods and work-based skills and experiences that brings together two key disciplines Psychology and Sociology. This enables students to identify the importance of the two disciplines, when working with children and their families in a variety of contexts and settings. With this knowledge, students are able to make a more informed decision on whether to continue onto a higher level of study or onto a different career path within the care and education sector. Most importantly, students will be better equipped for their chosen career path.
