Childhood and Education Studies

About this course

Childhood and education studies is a discipline that takes children's lives seriously as a subject of academic enquiry. It draws on developmental psychology, sociology, history, and policy studies to ask how children develop, how they learn, how childhood is constructed differently across cultures and historical periods, and what educational institutions and practices actually do, for better and sometimes for worse. It is a subject that combines genuine intellectual engagement with a commitment to understanding and improving the lives of children. This part-time programme at University College Birmingham is delivered through distance learning, making it accessible to students who cannot commit to full-time campus attendance. The part-time structure is particularly well suited to those who are already working with children in early years, school, or community settings and want to deepen
