Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Early Childhood and Primary Education

The Early Childhood and Primary Education (non-QTS) degree is perfect if students wish to explore and analyse in-depth why these early learning experiences are so vital.

The opportunity for observation by the lecture team whilst students are in placement will allow them to take on a lead role in an early year setting
