Course programme

During this course, you will undertake University-based learning at Walsall Campus. Modules in the first year (level 4) focus on the following topics-

Research, and Personal and Professional Development

The Role of Play in Childhood

Education and Social Justice

Education in Europe

Child and Young Person Development

Safeguarding and Promoting Well-being

Students will actively engage in investigating the cultural, sociological, psychological, political and linguistic dimensions of teaching and learning.

Work experience placements are an integral part of the course and can be negotiated in a variety of settings such as schools, nurseries, community care centres, hospitals, social services, libraries and other relevant settings.

During the 2nd year of study students are invited to a ‘transition’ event designed to aid and smooth their progression from level 5 to level 6. Participants were given advice about how to prepare for their level 6 studies and module leaders were able to provide reading and other summer work to those eager to make a start. Examples of this included:

  • Academic staff offering support on refining your research title and questions
  • Literature review searching
  • Where can I get help over the summer?
