Course Overview

This Foundation Degree equips you with the most up-to-date knowledge and skills you need to work effectively and successfully in the field of child and family services.

Built around the most current legislation, policy and events and offering a wide area of study, this course gives you an in-depth understanding of the essential aspects of child development and welfare. Underpinning the course is the belief that children, young people and their families have rights and should have equal access to services and opportunities, regardless of social difference.

Your studies have a strong vocational element, with real-life practice informing the curriculum and your work. You are expected to be employed or volunteering with children or young people for a minimum of 14 hours per week and need a work-based mentor to support you with your studies.

General Eligibility

A Foundation Degree will be of particular interest if you have completed a Modern Apprenticeship, vocational A levels, BTEC National or equivalent.

Foundation Degrees are also particularly suitable if you want to qualify while working.

As a guideline, a typical offer would require you to obtain a UCAS tariff score of between 32-48 points, based on your level 3 studies.

You can work out how many UCAS points your qualifications are worth with the UCAS tariff calculator

Many students studying for foundation degrees come to us through work-based routes so you can apply for a foundation degree even if you don't have traditional academic qualifications.
