This course will provide you with skills, knowledge and understanding in a range of subject areas that combine to form childhood studies. You will learn about child development, children's needs, and the the historical, social and cultural issues that impacts their lives. You will also develop your knowledge and understanding of the child as an individual and the position of the child in society. At the University of Sunderland you will have the opportunity to register on a new pathway, the Early Childhood Graduate Practitioner Competencies in your first semester. This will allow you to become a practitioner and assures employers that you have completed relevant practice experience. If you choose to take this pathway, you will graduate with the degree title BA (Hons) Childhood Studies 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.

Your progress will be assessed by essays, reports, group work, seminar presentations and self-evaluation. Throughout your degree you will have one-to-one support from academic staff. During your first year you will demonstrate knowledge and awareness of the various perspectives and skills needed for building of relationships with individual children and children in groups, and the facilitation of building relationships with and between children as well as families, colleagues, other professionals and communities. By the end of the course, you will apply multiple perspectives to childhood issues, recognising that childhood studies involve a range of research methods, theories, evidence and applications. You will begin to lead, support and work collaboratively with others and demonstrate an understanding of working effectively in teams with parents, carers and other professionals.
