The School of Early Years encourages and values applications from students who are returning to education.
We also offer a flexible learning route (see Early Years Education and Care 2 year degree) that is designed for evening and weekend delivery, for those who already have significant experience working in the early years sector.
As part of the application process students will be given an opportunity to attend visit days. This provides applicants with an opportunity to visit the campus, meet the lecturers, ask questions about the degree and have a tour of the site with a current student.
During visit days the course lecturers are always interested in applicant's experiences of volunteering and working with young children, for example, school / college placements. The team also likes to hear about applicants' interests, hobbies and responsibilities.
