The early experience of children in today’s society is crucial to their future life experience.

Studying Early Childhood with Liverpool Hope at Holy Cross allows you to study explore holistic development from a local, national and international perspective.
Studying Education is a dynamic and stimulating opportunity to explore the individual, social, and political forces that shape education, no matter where it is found or how it is delivered. If you are interested in all aspects of how and why we learn, both formally and informally, in the UK or abroad, then studying Education will challenge and excite you in equal measure.
