BA Early Childhood Studies including foundation year

The BA (Hons) Early Childhood Studies (including foundation year) at London Metropolitan University is a good choice if you do not have the qualifications needed for the regular three-year degree. This course has a built-in foundation year to prepare you for undergraduate study, and you will graduate with the same degree and title as students on the standard course.

The foundation year will give you important skills for university, like how to write essays, manage your time, do research, and think critically. You will also take a taster module in early childhood studies to prepare you for more rigorous study later on. This year is shared with students from other foundation year courses, so you will get to meet people outside of your course and expand your network.

In the three years following your foundation year, you will study the same content and modules as students on the BA (Hons) Early Childhood Studies. You will study the play, development, and learning of children from birth to six years old.

The university also offers a careers service that can help you find work experience, improve your interview technique, and write job applications. Studying Early Childhood Studies with a foundation year at London Metropolitan University will help you begin a career in early childhood care, education, or as an adviser.
