Childhood Studies

About this course

Childhood studies is a multidisciplinary field that examines children's lives, experiences, rights, and development from a range of perspectives, including sociology, psychology, education, law, and policy. It is a discipline that takes children seriously as social agents with their own experiences and perspectives, rather than simply as objects of adult concern, and it asks critical questions about how childhood is constructed differently across cultures and historical periods, and what conditions enable children to flourish. At the University of Sunderland, this three-year full-time programme explores both global and local issues relating to children and childhood, developing your critical thinking, communication, and teamwork skills alongside specialist knowledge of child development, child welfare, children's rights, and the policies and services that shape children's lives.
