What you'll study

This three-year course will equip you with the necessary expertise to become a successful early years professional, focusing on young children aged 0-5 years. You will become a research-informed and reflective practitioner, as well as an expert in the policy and practice in the early years and the care and education of young children.

You will also study leadership and multi-agency working in the early years phase and undertake a piece of practitioner research.

Responding to the Early Years Workforce Strategy, we have built this degree qualification to meet the Early Years Educator criteria required for those wanting to become Early Years Educators.
