Overview

Why choose this course?

The Childhood, Family and Education Studies (Hons) course from University of Wolverhampton is ranked 9th in the UK for Education (The Guardian University Guide 2025).
Students will actively engage in investigating the cultural, sociological, psychological, political and linguistic dimensions of teaching and learning.
Work experience placements are an integral part of the course and can be negotiated in a variety of settings such as schools, nurseries, community care centres, hospitals, social services, libraries and other relevant settings.
During the 2nd year of study students are invited to a ‘transition’ event designed to aid and smooth their progression from level 5 to level 6. Participants were given advice about how to prepare for their level 6 studies and module leaders were able to provide reading and other summer work to those eager to make a start.
