Many of our students are clear they want to work with children and although many feel they will want to become a teacher many move to other areas within the early childhood field. For many students, having the opportunity to understand and consider children and childhood in a wider context gives them the opportunity to reaffirm their choice or equally enables those with other or more diverse aspirations to gain invaluable knowledge, skills and attributes to inform their future careers and employment. This enables individuals to enjoy a wider experience shaped by them and their aspirations and goals. Canterbury Christ Church University was one of the first universities to offer the Early Childhood Studies degree. We continue to pioneer an innovative, creative and exciting approach to the study of children and their childhoods. This captivating area of study draws on multiple perspectives of early childhood from the fields of psychology, sociology, education, health, law and science. In doing the degree the complexities of child development and growth, children’s earliest experiences from the moment of conception to the end of their early childhood are captured and explored. At Canterbury Christ Church University we invite our students to enter the diverse worlds of children’s lives as they are lived and experienced by children themselves and to consider the influences that shape their development and learning, their personalities and the critical periods that will ultimately shape their journeys to adulthood. The first early childhood studies degrees were developed for two reasons. The first was to provide an important area of study that brought together knowledge and understanding about children and their childhoods from many different perspectives such as sociology, education, health, science and psychology, and to develop this knowledge and understanding further through research. The second reason was to develop a graduate workforce who, having been immersed in studying children and their childhoods from many perspectives during their degree, would be effective advocates for babies and young children in whatever capacity they were working. At Canterbury Christ Church University, early childhood studies has expanded significantly since the degree was first established. In 1996, there were approximately 60 students. We now have a thriving early childhood studies community of approximately 600 students studying online or at three of the university campuses, and who are taught by a team of approximately 25 tutors bringing a diverse range of expertise to ensure students experience early childhood studies as a stimulating, thought provoking, multi-disciplinary degree.
