Course Overview
This course is delivered during the day at our Medway campus and is led by accomplished academics, who have also experienced childhood practitioners. Upon successful completion, you will have gained a degree that opens all kinds of doors and career paths.
ABA Childhood Studies is also the foundation upon which you can build your route to qualified teacher status by taking a relevant postgraduate course, such as a PGCE. It is flexible and can be completed full-time, around your work, over the course of a year. Moreover, the same passionate and experienced academics who run the foundation degree will support you on every step to success.
On completion of your Childhood Studies degree, you may wish to progress to a postgraduate teacher training course. You may choose to undertake a School Direct course or a PGCE. If you already have a wealth of teaching experience, you may be eligible to enter the 'Assessment Only' route to gain Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).
