Early Childhood Studies (Top-Up) - BA (Hons)

The course draws focus on the study of children's play, development and learning from birth to six years old, as well as the implications this has for practice in early childhood settings. The course emphasises the links between theory and practice, it also highly values the development of professional and academic skills and knowledge.

This degree will equip you with the skills needed to work with children and families in a range of situations and to act as an advocate for their rights and wellbeing.

As a graduate of this degree, you'll be able to pursue a variety of careers in education, health and social care sectors. The success of our graduates reflects the current need for well-trained professionals who can quickly move up to more senior roles in children’s centres, nursery and primary schools, as well as other early childhood care and education settings.

Some students go on to specialise in a particular area, such as special educational needs, while others take up advisory posts in local authorities or government departments.
