About this course
BA (Hons) Degree in Childhood Studies, Care and Education, awarded by the University of Gloucestershire, and regulated by the Office for Students.
The BA (Hons) Childhood Studies, Care and Education is designed to support the continued development of learners’ personal attributes and qualities alongside the specialist knowledge and skills required to gain a senior role; enhancing practice within the wider childhood, education and care sector. This programme focuses on advanced critical thinking, developing higher level skills in research and analysis. Reflective thinking is an essential element of the programme, with students exploring personal understanding of experiences, actions and processes and the impact on themselves, others, and the wider sector.
This course is available on both a full-time and a part-time basis, and is taught in-person at our Yeovil College campus. The full-time course is studied over 1 academic year, and students are typically timetabled for either one day or two evenings per week.
This course is designed to allow students who already hold a relevant Level 5 qualification, such as a FdA, to 'top-up' to BA (Hons) level. If you're looking at studying Childhood Studies, Care and Education at university level for the first time, you would need to look at studying another qualification first. At Yeovil College University Centre, we offer the FdA Childhood Studies, Care and Education course; successfully completing this would allow you to then apply to ‘top-up’ to a full BA (Hons) qualification.
Modules
You will study a range of units that will develop your specialist knowledge and skills. Modules currently offered include:
• Social and Cultural Concepts of Childhood (30 credits)
• Leadership and Change Management (30 credits)

Alongside developing a range of subject-specific skills, this course also gives you the opportunity to develop important transferable skills such as critical analysis, academic writing, time management, and communication.
Please be aware that modules studied may change periodically to reflect developments in the discipline, in response to student or stakeholder feedback, or as a result of regulatory body requirements. However, no significant changes to modules would be implemented without student consultation and feedback. Enrolled students can always find the most up-to-date information about their modules and who is teaching them in their course handbook.
Assessment methods
An assessment schedule, outlining all assessments and deadlines, will be issued to you at the start of each academic year, and each module will have an assignment brief and module guide to support your summative assessment. You will be assessed using a range of methods which will reflect the requirements of the subject, including essays, reports, research projects, and presentations. Feedback will be provided to you in writing, along with information reflecting your performance and recommendations for improvement.
