Develop the knowledge, practical skills, and critical insight needed to shape young lives with our BA Early Childhood Studies. This course focuses on the development, education, and wellbeing of babies and young children, preparing you for a rewarding career in early years education, family support, child development services, or more.

Child-centred learning - Designed with young children at its heart, this course offers a challenging and ambitious curriculum that blends academic theory, legislation and policy insights, and hands-on placement experience.
Emergency First Aid qualification - As part of your studies, you’ll receive Approved Emergency Paediatric First Aid Training. This is an essential, industry-recognised certification that boosts your employability and prepares you for real-world settings.
Tailor your degree - Explore early childhood from multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and international perspectives. Tailor your learning through optional modules covering areas such as special needs, digital media, creativity, and children's mental health.
Outstanding support and satisfaction - Learn from highly experienced tutors, personal academic mentors, and graduate assistants. 94% of students were positive about the learning opportunities on their course (NSS 2025).
Career-focused development - Build the skills employers value most—critical thinking, collaborative teamwork, communication, leadership, and change management. Upon graduation, you may be eligible to apply for Level 6 Graduate Practitioner Competencies status, opening even more doors in early years practice and leadership roles. You’ll be ready to work in nurseries, preschool settings, family support roles, or to progress into primary or early years PGCE/QTS teacher training.
Hands-on experiences - Enrich your understanding of childhood with visits to London’s museums and galleries as part of your induction, bringing theory to life and sparking creative ways to engage with children's development and learning.
