(Hons) Early Childhood Studies Mediterranean College

Overview

During the (Hons) Early Childhood Studies course at Mediterranean College, you will focus on identifying and meeting children’s holistic needs, so you will consider all the challenges and opportunities faced by early years professionals working in a variety of children’s services.

The role of professional and personal development is an important theme for this course. By spending a substantial amount of time on placement, you’ll draw on your own practical experiences with young children to advance your knowledge. 

What you will study

Our teaching approach is a combination of theory and practice. Workshop sessions in crafts, music, drama play, and kinetics are delivered in our first-rate facilities and equip you with practical skills to create your own learning material.

Real-world learning lies at the heart of this course. You’ll undertake a placement for one or two days each week, building your skills in working with children and boosting your employability. We liaise closely with nurseries, children’s centres and other early years employers, so you’ll gain practical knowledge of what it is like to work in different settings as well as developing your observational and reflective skills.
