Early Years Education and Care (2 Years) (BA)
Program Available at Swansea, Carmarthen and Cardiff Campus
The BA Early Years Education and Care (2 Years) program has been developed to provide opportunities for learning about all aspects of young children’s education and care.
The program provides opportunities to link practical activities and experiences in the work environment to theories relating to children’s education and care.
Learning takes place through group discussions, workshops and study visits, as well as lectures, in order to develop a knowledge and understanding of a range of relevant topics.
There is an emphasis on hands-on learning in order to support understanding of the links between theory and practice within the early years. There are also optional residential visits to other parts of the UK and abroad.
