Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Early Childhood and English Literature (QX33)

The undergraduate program in Early Childhood Studies provides a higher level of academic study that will extend students' knowledge and understanding of children in their early years.

The Early Childhood team aims to provide a stimulating and supportive learning environment for all students through a high level of tutor support, access to exceptional University resources and engagement with Liverpool Hope University's multidisciplinary teaching team with wide experience in research, practice and policy in the field. Together with the vital ingredient of their commitment as a student, these elements will enrich their learning experience. The university also aims to enhance this where possible through engaging invited speakers and field visits to relevant spaces in Liverpool, a city rich in community connection and cultural experience.

In the English Literature program, students will read a wide variety of texts from medieval period to the present day. They will encounter new ways of looking at literature by not only studying texts on campus but also going on various field trips.

During students' three years of study, they will gain a sound grasp of the contexts and approaches within which English literature can be studied, as well as gaining a sense of developments across periods of English literature. Students also develop a critical appreciation of the ways in which knowledge of other disciplines and their relationships to English literature can contribute to a deeper understanding of literary texts.
