    Bachelor's degree

  • Location

    Winchester

Students may wish to pursue the three year BA (Hons) Education Studies (Early Childhood) pathway or the four year Intergrated Masters MEd Stud (Hons) Education Studies (Early Childhood) pathway.Alongside core modules, students have the opportunity to work with  other  areas of study - race, gender, power, ecology and inclusion - and to apply these to early childhood. A variety of themes are drawn upon to explore early childhood in relation to ideas and political developments which have contributed to changing conceptions about family life and forms of caring for the young, both in the context of schools and in the wider culture.Study in Year 1 is foundational and aims to provide a general level of contextual understanding for subsequent study. Students are encouraged to reflect on their own educational experiences, comment on how these experiences have influenced them and begin to familiarise themselves with the names and terms that impact current educational theory. The knowledge gained is built upon in Years 2 and 3. Students engage with social, political and cultural perspectives - building on knowledge and critically deploying it in relation to real-world situations.
