A distinguishing feature of our programme is the emphasis on placement experience in a range of early childhood settings. In developing knowledgeable and articulate professionals, students graduate with a full and relevant qualification for the purposes of employment within early years settings. Your study will link theory to practice, and will receive support in making the transition to academic writing in Higher Education. Foundation Year courses have been designed for students who do not have the necessary academic qualifications needed to enter directly into the first year of a degree but who have the ability and commitment to do so.
