BA (Hons) Childhood and Society Studies (Top-Up) is designed for people who want to gain a full undergraduate degree, and are working with children and/or young people. You will develop a broader understanding of a number of childhood related topics, and use this to analyse in relation to your own practice and the practice of others in childhood settings. For students with existing experience within early years, you can opt for the degree with Early Childhood Graduate Practitioner Competencies. As an Early Childhood Graduate Practitioner, you will be an advocate for young children’s rights and participation and recognise that young children are active co-constructors of their own learning. By becoming a Practitioner, you will critically apply academic knowledge of pedagogy and research evidence, to the holistic development of infants and young children, in a practice context that is respectful of the child, their family and community. Whichever pathway you choose our degree is designed for people who want to gain a full undergraduate degree, and are working with children and/or young people.

Please view the University website for more details on the modules studied.
