Course Overview

The Early Years Foundation Degree is a programme designed for those practitioners who work with or intend to work with, young children in public, private, voluntary and independent childcare and education settings.

It provides access to a higher level of qualification and career development for people working as childminders or in group settings such as reception classes, nurseries, kindergartens, preschools, community crèche environments or children’s centres.

This programme is for any practitioner, working with young children in a public, private, third or independent sector setting who has a commitment to the aims of the course. It has been designed for those with relevant experience or working in the sector, as well as for those seeking progression routes into management positions in early years settings.

General Eligibility

Entry requirements are flexible but normally you will possess a Level 3 qualification, such as A level, a BTEC, or NVQ level 3, each student is assessed on their own merits and we value your workplace experience.

A typical offer is, 48 UCAS points and GCSE English at Grade 4 (C) or above.

Although not an entry requirement for the course, it is essential that applicants will need to obtain Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) later on in the course for their work experience placement. Students will be advised about this process during their studies.
