About this course
BA (Hons) Education (Top up) is split into two pathways; Early Years and Teaching and Learning Support. The purpose of the course is to produce highly qualified early years practitioners working with the relevant age group for their chosen pathway. Upon completion of the programme, students will have developed an awareness of current educational issues and polices, and the impact these have on their role and development of children in their care.
The programme will extend and progress students' knowledge and understanding of the needs and characteristics of children to enable them to support and develop inclusive practice.
