Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Childhood Studies
Program Overview
Children are at the forefront of policy and debate in our society. Headlines about children’s rights, the health and development of young people and how to protect the younger generation can often be found in the news. This course helps you understand the issues and gain some crucial insights into what shapes children’s lives from birth to age 19. We believe it’s not enough to study the issues affecting children, you also need to understand them from their perspective.
Why Childhood Studies?
- The course prepares you for a wide range of professional possibilities relating to children, young people and families, including teaching, early years, social care, child and youth policy work and more. There are also plenty of other occupations relating to children, young people and families, and our Childhood Studies course is designed to help you take the first step towards your career.
- We’ll give you the chance to explore the nature of childhood and youth in contemporary society. The course will examine relevant social theory and research, and draw on current policy and practices out there in the real world. You’ll be able to bring your own experience to bear on the course too. Along the way you’ll look at childhood through the perspectives of psychology, sociology, philosophy and educational theories. You’ll also have opportunities to study children's voices, wellbeing and development, social policy, how to protect vulnerable children and young people, youth identities and cultures, and children’s rights.
- We'll help you build up transferable skills that employers are looking for, as well as helping you to understand and challenge current approaches and policy. While you’re here, you’ll take a work placement of a minimum of 80 hours in your second year.
