The BA (Hons) is a full time course, completed over one year in study blocks. It is a highly regarded and unique qualification gained through rigorous academic learning combined with substantial work based vocational training.

The programme has been structured to meet the needs of students who are working full time. Offered over one year, teaching is delivered across three study blocks amounting to 12 days in total.   We believe this mode of study enables students to focus fully on their learning during the study blocks, enhancing the overall teaching experience. It reduces regular travel and offers students more flexibility managing their learning than is usually available.

With emphasis on integrated working across education, health and social care, this course also focus on the complexity and challenges of working with families as well as the need to develop leadership capacity at all levels within and across organisations.

The entry requirements for this programme are;

  • A Foundation Degree in Early Years or other related subject
  • A minimum of 2 years’ experience in working with children and families in an early years setting
  • An interview will be carried out which will include a series of discussion points and a written task to ascertain competency in the subject area.
