Our BA (Hons) Early Childhood Studies program equips you with practical skills and theoretical understanding for careers in education, healthcare, and social services. This degree grants you Early Childhood Studies Graduate Practitioner certification, allowing you to obtain Level 6 graduate practitioner status while also qualifying for Level 3 Early Years Educator (EYE) certification if you lack prior practical qualifications in this field.
You'll develop research-based expertise to become a thoughtful practitioner while studying child development, policy implementation, healthcare, education systems, and family dynamics. The curriculum features modern modules that blend academic theory with hands-on placement opportunities. Practical experience forms the foundation of this program, with mandatory weekly placements (one to two days) that enhance your professional abilities with children and prepare you for graduate practitioner roles.
You'll also enjoy access to outstanding learning resources, integrated professional development training, and instruction from leading Early Childhood specialists throughout your studies.
