Early Childhood Studies
The Early Childhood Studies Programmes at Staffordshire University focus upon the care and development of young children aged 0-8 years and the primary involvement of their families. the programmes offer sound academic knowledge to enable you to enter careers in education, health, social services and within the private, independent and voluntary sectors. For those wishing to progress to Early Years Professional Status this is ideal as the content has been developed to meet the needs of qualified early years specialists. Many of our students intend to move into teaching and progress to a Postgraduate Certificate in Education(PGCE) or Graduate Teacher Programme(GTP) and the courses are closely linked to the Governments restructuring of Early Years Policy.
Throughout your time at Staffordshire University you will be taught by lecturers with a range of backgrounds in the vocational area so you can be sure that when you qualify you will have a wide array of knowledge and expertise. to be sure that you are ready to work in Early years we will help you to develop your observational, reflective skills, your ability to plan and your practical knowledge of different settings.
The course you choose will have been designed to be relevant for students who have already achieved knowledge and expertise in early years or for students coming with limited prior experience with children. therefore a range of assessment methods is used to enable students to demonstrate their full range of skills, knowledge and understanding.
