Course overview
Working with children on educational and personal development is considered one of the most rewarding careers available. Focusing on development between ages 0-8, this course aims to produce graduates who will raise the quality standard within the early year’s provision by providing training that meets the holistic needs of young children. Success in this field demands creativity, empathy, logic and a great deal of knowledge alongside the ability to draw upon life experiences. As no two days are the same in this industry, this course focuses on policies, processes, best practices and practical learning to help students understand the key fundamentals of child development. An optional placement or sandwich year after Year 2 gives students the chance to gain further insight into the industry or career they are seeking to follow, enabling them to apply their theoretical knowledge to the workplace. Students can also choose to take an optional year abroad between years two and three. If students decide to take advantage of a placement year this version of the degree will help them acquire valuable work experience and gain an understanding of what employers seek in graduates. It is each student's responsibility to find a placement with an employer within their chosen sector. The careers and employability department, alongside the course team, will support students throughout the placement year.
