BA (Hons) Childhood Studies (with SEN) at Medway (top up)

... United Kingdom
... Canterbury Christ Church University

Course Overview

The course is delivered at our Medway campus via 'twilight' lectures which take place after 5 pm. It is led by award-winning 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 (SEN pathway) 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 part-time around your work, or full-time 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).

Graduates have progressed to a variety of social work and specialist courses, such as speech and language, and art therapy. Many students have continued on Master's level study.

General Eligibility
