With just one weekly on-campus session, you can seamlessly continue your career journey while enhancing your skills and knowledge over a two-year period. It's important to note that this Foundation degree serves as the first two years of a full-time degree programme, providing you with a strong educational foundation.
Over the two-year programme, you will build on your existing experience of working with young children and apply it to your studies. In your first year, you will gain an introduction to studying at university level, explore how children learn, and examine how your practice supports the needs of children. You will also reflect on your role within the early years sector to support your professional development, while studying key topics such as child development and social interactions to strengthen your practical knowledge.
In your second year, you will explore important topics such as inclusion, equality, and diversity, as well as how to support the development and learning of young children. You will also learn about different approaches to teaching (pedagogy) and how to reflect on your own practice.
Students may also choose to progress onto the BA (Hons) Early Childhood Education without the Graduate Practitioner option. This route still meets the full and relevant criteria set by the Department for Education. In addition, there are pathways into teaching, including the opportunity to complete a top-up course in Primary Teaching Studies with Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).
Our Foundation Degree is frequently viewed as a stepping stone towards a teaching career, enabling you to progress within your current role and explore opportunities for senior positions in the sector. Furthermore, this programme offers top-up degree options, empowering you to pursue your long-term goals in the field of child education.
