Overview

Study as you work
Our Foundation Degree Early Years programme allows those already working or volunteering in an Early Years setting (for a minimum of 12 hours a week) to continue their career development in a rewarding field.
This two-year, full-time or three-year part-time degree is structured so that you attend University one day per week, enabling you to study without giving up work. It also allows early years professionals to work towards a full Level 5 degree with the support to develop their academic confidence and skills.
Learn to support Early Years children
Our course combines theoretical study with practical work. You will explore how children learn and develop in the early stages of their lives. In addition, you will enhance your skills in reflection, independent thinking and critical analysis on your journey to becoming a more confident and skilled Early Years practitioner.

On successful completion, students can continue their studies to a full degree by taking the BA (Hons) Early Childhood Studies Level 6 Top-up programme.
