Course Overview

BA (Hons) Early Childhood is designed for those who want to develop their career working with younger children and gain skills and knowledge around early childhood. You’ll understand the steps children take on their learning and developmental journey and learn how to support them along the way.

You'll focus on how children develop language and child psychology and a broader understanding of educational policy and practice. You’ll take part in work-based learning with placement opportunities, during which you’ll be encouraged to be critically reflective of your work and observe other professionals' practices.

Upon completion, you'll gain certification of Graduate Practitioner Competencies at Level 6, supported by the Early Childhood Studies Degree Network (ECSDN) and recognized by the Department for Education’s Career Progression for the Early Years Workforce.
