This Children and Young People degree will allow you to build on the professional skills and knowledge you gained at Foundation Degree level. It is also the next step towards a PGCE qualification if you are looking to go into teaching. You will be committed, motivated, be passionate about working with children and want to make a positive impact on their development. You will cover topics such as safeguarding, young people in society and equality and diversity, learning from tutors who have worked in a variety of roles in nurseries, schools and education and youth settings. You will develop enhanced research skills by completing a dissertation on an area of your choice. You will undertake a work placement which will help you to develop a range of transferable skills and enhanced knowledge that will be of great benefit to you in a working environment. Previous students have undertaken placements at schools, day nurseries and disability teams. All of the modules you will study on the degree are closely linked to industry practice, theory and research. After you have successfully completed your degree you may wish to continue your studies and progress onto a relevant Masters degree or PGCE if you would like to pursue a career in teaching. If you feel you are ready for employment you could look for roles in schools, nurseries and youth groups.
