This course allows you to understand all of the intricacies surrounding the lives of children from birth to eight years. It is perfect as the next step for people with nursery/young child care and education diplomas. It is also an ideal course for students who would like to follow the program with the one-year PGCE course in order to become a teacher.

Learning in the course will consist of various inter-disciplinary approaches. You will explore theories and perspectives on children and child education and analyse them using written, visual and oral media. You will put these philosophies into a greater context and consider how the child develops skills and understanding as a member of society. Focused topics will include matters of inclusion, disability, creativity in early years, development and learning processes, and the role of the adult in a child's education.
The course will also enable you to practice your learning through hands-on work experience. In your final year, you will have the opportunity to do a work placement in which you will collect data for analysis in a relevant research project. In this instance, you will learn from first-hand experience and work with people who understand early years education inside out. Likewise, you will be supported throughout the whole of the course by tutors who have a special expertise in this area.
During the course you will:
  • Cover a broad curriculum in the field of early years education
  • Focus on early years education within the broader context of education
  • Learn from staff who have extensive experience in teacher training and education
  • Put your learning to use in a practical work placement
  • Earn qualifications that will make you a desirable candidate to help fulfil Bedford's strong demand for graduates with knowledge of education systems and practices
Areas of study you may cover on this course include:
  • Child development
  • Teaching and learning
  • The nature of the curriculum
  • Sociological perspectives on children
  • Creativity
  • Management in early years
  • Inclusion
  • Understanding the workplace
