Program Overview

The BA (Hons) Early Years (Top Up) course explores best practice in early childhood education from around the globe, with a focus on developing critical thinking skills, theoretical knowledge and gaining real-world experience in local education settings.

Alongside studying early social, emotional and cognitive development in children aged 0-7, students are supported throughout their academic studies with a bespoke academic English module, delivered by our specialist team at the Centre for International English.

Taught by experienced lecturers who have been recognised and published in the field of education and Early Years, students gain knowledge, insight and a fundamental understanding of learning in the Early Years. Academic research is a core element of the degree, with students being supported in this area as they increase their knowledge of critical enquiry and the importance of ethical approaches to discovery.

The skills learnt through this Early Years degree can lead to a range of interesting careers in education and many other areas of early years provision, with previous graduates of Early Years courses following career paths in teaching, nurseries, children’s charities and integrated children’s centres, and even project officer roles within local communities.

The course is for students who have already achieved 240 credits. The study is aimed at a multi-national student cohort that welcomes students from outside of the UK alongside those within it, who are interested in studying and learning best practice in global childhood education.
