Early Years (Top-up)

The BA (Hons) Early Years (top-up) is for people who are working with children and young people that have previously studied to and achieved a level 5 qualification in early years/childhood studies. This programme provides a progression route for students wishing to be part of the graduate children’s workforce of the future and it will be a significant step toward achieving Early Years Teacher Status or Qualified Teacher Status should you wish. This sector is changing and evolving, it is envisaged that the new professional will be leading and shaping these changes. The programme team has worked in partnership with employers to develop a programme which is relevant and progressive allowing practitioners to further enhance their skills, knowledge and abilities. This programme should challenge and encourage you to ask questions of yourself and your role and deepen your understanding of early years.
