Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Early Childhood Studies with Foundation Year

Program Overview

Our foundation year option enables you to join the BA Early Childhood Studies course even if you don’t have the formal qualifications or experience to meet the standard entry requirements.

If you’re passionate about advocating for children and families in your community, then this early childhood studies course will teach you how to support and change children’s lives using research-based and holistic insights into child development.

Take a holistic approach in understanding early childhood development. From ages 0-8, we cover a wide range of child development stages, which includes physical, emotional, cognitive, social, and pedagogical.

Alongside this, you’ll learn about external factors that contribute to a child’s development, such as cultural, psychological, sociological historical, and political. You’ll also gain an in-depth, critical understanding of development and education during the early years, both through a national and international perspective.

Not only will you explore developmental theory and a sociological model for children, but you’ll do so through multi-modal practices, enhancing both your specialist knowledge and transferable skills.

A degree in early childhood studies will open many doors upon graduation. With this knowledge and skillset, you will be ready to enter multiple sectors. From policing and education to social work and corporate settings, you’ll gain a variety of transferable skills alongside your specialism, preparing you for your future career.

We know employers are looking for dynamic, open-minded graduates who can adapt, innovate, and collaborate. This is why we have designed a new way of teaching and learning to ensure that you are work-ready for when you graduate. Our 2026 course will reflect this new approach. The 2026 course page will be made live shortly.
