FdA EARLY YEARS PRACTICE AWARDING BODY: UNIVERSITY OF PLYMOUTH


CLX1


2 YEARS, FULL-TIME 3 YEARS, PART-TIME


Sitting alongside two well-established Foundation Degrees - FdA Early Childhood Studies and FdA Teaching and Learning - this course offers you an additional route into Higher Education, but with a focus on employability in the early years sector.


Drawing four core modules each year from the FdA Early Childhood Studies and related FdA Teaching and Learning courses, this route also offers an additional double-credit module each year based around your own practice. You should anticipate spending the equivalent of around one day a week in a setting with babies or young children.


You are given a strong core of knowledge in psychology, sociology, and the holistic development of children. You will also have the opportunity to specialise in areas by selecting topics of interest, furthering links to your professional development. Engaging lectures, collaborative and independent study, opportunities for trips and events with the University, and guest speakers provide you with a uniquely supportive and challenging learning environment.


PROGRESSION


There are a number of opportunities to convert this Foundation Degree into a full BA (Hons) degree in (for example) Early Childhood Studies or Education Studies with the University of Plymouth1, or Professional Development (Childhood Studies) at Petroc.
