Overview

How children learn and experience childhood has never been more important, and together with a whole host of new contemporary research around emotional wellbeing, safeguarding and the rights of the child, there is no better time than now to gain a greater understanding of this important topic.

Meeting the learning and developmental needs of a young person is crucial to their wellbeing, mental health and academic ability. As a professional involved in this area, it’s important that you’re the best you can be and you’re keeping up with current research.

What are my career prospects?

Once you’ve graduated with your degree in (Hons) Childhood Studies with Early Years , you’ll be well qualified to think about several different careers.
You could consider completing teacher training via School Centred Initial Teacher Training (SCITT), Early Years Initial Teacher Training, or even a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE). You can also choose to study one of our postgraduate course like PGCert Practice Education here at Bucks New University .
If teaching isn’t your thing, how about progressing into a position in social work, special needs, play therapy, charities and international development work.
