Having already completed a suitable Foundation Degree or Higher Education Diploma in Early Childhood, the BA (Hons) work-based degree program combines practice-based learning and campus-based teaching sessions once a week, allowing you to continue working or volunteering throughout the course. The program is the natural progression for those who have previously studied our Foundation Degree in Early Childhood Education in Practice.
Throughout the one-year program, you will integrate your previous learning experience of working with young children into your studies. The course provides insight into effective management and leadership within the children’s workforce, where you will have the opportunity to develop your understanding of the complex factors that contribute to children’s learning and development.
Building on your previous knowledge and understanding from your foundation degree, this course aims to stretch and deepen your knowledge of supporting children by exploring alternative and international perspectives on child development. You can collaborate with students from other related systems who work in various contexts, such as schools and youth services, to increase your employability by broadening your perspectives on working with children and young people.
Throughout the program, the BA (Hons) Early Childhood Education in Practice combines the complete and relevant criteria of the Department for Education and the graduate competency requirements of the Early Childhood Studies Degree Network (ECSDN) and includes elements of assessed practice. This means you can obtain this sector-recognized accreditation after completing the BA (Hons) in Early Childhood Education in Practice.
Applicants will typically have 240 HE credits from a Foundation degree or a HE Diploma in a relevant field of study.
In line with the criteria for Full and Relevancy, Early Childhood Education students will be required to have a Level 2 functional skills qualification in English and Mathematics or a BGU approved equivalent qualification.
20 hours of work permit weekly for international students.
