**This course is primarily designed for face to face learning with you attending your lessons for the specified hours within the validation document. However, there may be periods of study where the government advises TEC Partnership that it is not safe to open campuses or there is limited access due to social distancing measures. If the Campus is closed TEC Partnership will continue to deliver your sessions online and offer you the necessary support and resources remotely. If there is limited access due to social distancing measures a blended model will be adopted with some lessons happening in small groups and others happening using online sessions and support.** BA (Hons) Early Childhood Studies (Top-up) is designed to provide a comprehensive course that helps students to critically analyse various aspects of children’s life such as sociological factors, legislative changes and educational influences on children’s development focusing on the age between 0-8 years old. Within this course, students will have opportunities to be able to evaluate their everyday practice and implement changes confidently. To be able to do this, this course incorporates professional practice hours which is one of the distinctive features of this programme. Within these professional practice hours, students will be given opportunities to apply theories into practice at their professional practice through 150 hours of placement, and expand their theoretical and practice knowledge. Also this programme provides students to explore their own specialist topic in the field of Early Childhood Studies and will be encouraged to explore and research their chosen topic independently within their dissertation module. This exercise will help students to be academically inquisitive, independent and confident in their chosen area. Additionally, there will be opportunities to explore students’ future career within the field of early years in ‘Future Development in Early Years’ module by investigating different possible career pathways with this degree and developing various leadership, management and changing-agent skills to help students achieve their future career goals.
