Overview

The education landscape plays a critical role in children’s cognitive and emotional development, and how they progress through later life. This non-QTS course specialises in the transformative power within both the Primary Education and Early Childhood sectors, and is perfect if student wish to discuss, discover, and analyse in -depth why learning experiences are vital. Student will explore contemporary thinking relating to play, social and emotional development, and the philosophy of childhood and education. Early education creates intense discussion across political and societal landscapes, exposing tensions between care and education. This course supports student to analyse and assess a range of political and societal ideas about family life and teaching and caring for children that have far-reaching impacts on their schooling and wider society. This course offers student a great deal of flexibility and supports student to follow professional interests. In student's second year, student will be well-poised to choose a pathway to specialise in either Early Childhood or in Primary Education, and we tailor modules so that they deepen and widen knowledge in these areas. We’re particularly proud of our third-year offering; in this year student will author a personal (and often inspirational) research project. Examples of dissertations include how gender influences toy choices, perceptions of sign language between parents and practitioners, healthy eating in a school environment, and the ‘Justifiable Lie’: the magic of Santa!
