Early Childhood Studies with Foundation

About this course

Early childhood studies is concerned with how children from birth to around eight years develop, learn, and thrive, and with the social, cultural, and policy contexts that shape their lives. It draws on developmental psychology, sociology, education theory, and health and wellbeing research to understand what children need and how the adults and institutions around them can best support their growth. Understanding early childhood matters enormously: the experiences and relationships children have in their earliest years have profound effects on their long-term health, learning, and social development. At the University of Plymouth, this four-year full-time programme with an integrated foundation year begins with a year that introduces core academic and organisational skills required to succeed at university, building confidence and independence as students transition to university-level
