Overview

With over 700 hours working in settings with young children, this Early Childhood Studies with Early Years Practitioner Status course at Aberystwyth University will help you develop the professional and academic skills that are needed to progress in a career in early childhood.

Quick Facts:

Drawing on aspects of psychology, sociology, childhood and educational studies, this degree will combine theory and practice to allow you to develop a clear understanding of this time in children’s lives. Working at a stage when development seems to happen in the blink of an eye, you will learn about how practitioners keep track of this development, to allow them to plan appropriately for each child’s next steps.
Successful completion of this degree leads to "Early Years Practitioner Status". This means that you will have a degree that allows you to work as a professional within an early years setting (subject to appropriate literacy and numeracy qualifications). Many students progress to become nursery managers and leaders.
Successful completion of this degree can also lead to progression to a one year primary school teacher training course (PGCE). The qualification is also an ideal basis for anyone wishing to work in social work or within different types of educational therapy.
