The BA (Hons) Early Years Education Programme provides students with an option of career choices in which professional skills used within the early years industry (0 – 7 years) are investigated, developed and reflected upon. The programme is underpinned by three stands; Theoretical knowledge, Research Methods and work-based skills and experiences that brings together two key disciplines Psychology and Sociology which enables students to identify the importance of the two disciplines, when working with children and their families. With this knowledge, students are able to make a more informed decision on whether to continue onto a higher level of study or onto a different career path within the sector. Most importantly, students will be better equipped for their chosen career path.
