Early Years

Course Introduction

This degree will give you an understanding of the core values of the early years workforce. You will review practice and policy, and learn the importance of encouraging a child’s development in partnership with his or her family.

Our specialist facilities include a simulated early years nursery, so academic lessons are practical and realistic. You will discover alternative teaching methods with visits to forest schools and outdoor learning centres and, if you are interested in social policy, a trip to Denmark, where you will learn about the inspiring Danish early years environment.

You will have the opportunity to graduate with an honours degree and Early Years Teacher Status.
