Course Summary

Demands for high quality comprehensive childcare and education requires highly skilled well-educated Early Years professionals. Studying at Higher Education at level 6 is required for those who would be future researchers in early childhood care and education, those who would teach others and those who would become future advocates, monitors and inspectors of services. The BA Early Childhood Studies top-up year at Wiltshire College and awarded by Oxford Brookes University, designed as a follow up from a Foundation Degree such as Foundation Degree in Early Years, brings together a number of academic disciplines. The course is structured to provide an inter-agency focus based on the outcomes of integrated methods and insights of the various disciplines that contribute to our understanding of childhood, and it will support practitioners who are working in a variety of Early Years’ settings with families, playgroups and in schools and nurseries as well as childminders. The top-up year is designed to be responsive to the employment needs of the sector and the region. The dissertation as well as other modules at level 6 encourages you to develop established techniques further of analysis and to make use of scholarly reviews and primary sources using techniques previously explored in their previous studies.
