Course content

Course structure 

We have a balanced approach to teaching and learning, employing a combination of theory and practical skills, which you will experience through seminars, workshops, placements, research, and independent study.

The course will provide you with a challenging, inclusive and creative environment including:

Nicole Travnicek

I chose to study my course as I wanted to top up my already existing knowledge and experience of early years education and care, and was also hoping that this would improve my income in the future. I have a great love for children and admire their imagination, curiosity, and love to learn, and want to help them to be safe and develop their full potential.

I had already worked in nurseries before studying and was able to continue working part-time. This has greatly helped me to apply the learned in practice, to experiment, and assess my provision.

I have had great experiences in student collaboration at university. We motivate each other, are not shy with compliments, and appreciate each other’s strengths in various areas. I also love learning about how the environment the child lives in impacts the child in various ways.

The uni has very experienced and knowledgeable tutors and lecturers. I feel personally supported as our course consists of a small group of students, therefore there is plenty of opportunity for personal interaction with our tutors.

After graduating, I am thinking of studying a further year for a teacher’s degree. Then, I aim to combine my knowledge about holistic health and early years education and care, and possibly start a business!

Nicole Travnicek ECEC

Josephine Asante

I chose the Early Childhood Education and Care degree course BA(Hons) because I felt that having a degree would equip me to work in schools and early childcare settings more effectively.

The University of Brighton was my first choice because of its renowned reputation and commitment to boosting graduate opportunities. Knowing that the university has highly qualified professors in my filed of interest also helped to affirm my decision.

The team have provided me with advice and encouragement. All members of staff been very patient and in their capacity as lecturers they have always gone the extra mile to support me emotionally during my studies at the university.

My observational study visit helped me to make connections from theory to practice and gave me the platform to display my knowledge I had acquired through theory. I enjoyed observing practitioners interacting with children and this experience was made worthwhile because there was a good balance of adult led activities as well as child-initiated play.

The course has taught me about good practice in early childhood education settings and I feel more confident to challenge anything that is contrary to what I have learned especially when it comes to safeguarding children. I believe it has also prepared me for my future career.

Josephine Anane-Asante ECEC

Shona Williams

I have always been very interested in issues concerning childhood and education. I chose to study Early Childhood Education and Care to deepen my understanding in areas regarding child development and education theory and policy.

The University of Brighton appealed to me due to its extensive library and education resources. The facilities are good, offering laptop loans, as well as lots of computers with printers and scanners on campus. The online library is also fantastic, offering most books in online format.

The course team members were highly supportive. I cannot speak highly enough of the Early Childhood Education and Care lecturing staff. They went above and beyond to offer engaging lectures, insightful feedback and made me feel supported and able to succeed.

I thoroughly enjoyed studying at the University of Brighton and most enjoyed finding new topics and areas of interest from exploring the library and the module outcomes. During my dissertation I had the opportunity to follow my own interests, built upon what I had already learnt within modules, which was the highlight of my course.

I gained many skills from this course. The observational tasks helped to solidify previous learning and gave me confidence to conduct observations in settings in future. Overall, this course has improved my confidence, communication and teamwork skills, and research skills. I hope to go on to further study and feel this course and the opportunities offered have provided a sound foundation for my progression.

Chloe Rebecca

I fell in love with the idea of working in childcare at the age of 16, after completing my Level 3 diploma at college so going on to study a BA(Hons) in Early Childhood Education and Care just felt so natural to me.

The University of Brighton was the nicest university I have visited! The second I walked onto campus I knew it was the place for me! As an Early Years Education and Care student the library and resources readily available to you are invaluable. The University of Brighton also boasts a beautiful curriculum centre which has an incredible array of children’s books and resources.

A highlight for me was the course module on International Perspectives on Childhood which definitely sparked my interest the most out of all the amazing modules available! By having this module available on the course, I was able to develop my understanding on education around the world. Later on in my course this became key!

The course team are amazing! They were very supportive in multiple situations for me. I am so thankful to my lecturers for always believing in me and really pushing me to my greatest!

Since graduating I have enrolled onto the Primary 5–11 years PGCE at the University of Brighton. After gaining my QTS I am planning to teach abroad.

Amy-Louise Tilley

Before choosing to study Early Childhood Education and Care I was unsure of my career path so did a year-long placement in a nursery which helped me realise I wanted to work with children in some way. The University of Brighton really stood out on their open days and applicant days. It just felt right.

The people I spoke to were so kind and friendly, there was a lot of support on offer. This course is based in Falmer where there is a huge library and open learning centre, specifically for education students, with plenty of resource and book you may need during your studies. I have gained so much knowledge and enjoy the freedom I have in my studies. I can choose my own research topics and have autonomy over my learning.

At times, it has been stressful but there is so much support from lecturers and the university who genuinely want you to succeed. The lecturers on my course all bring a variety of experience in the field of early childhood and take the time to answer any questions we have and adapt the sessions to suit us. My placement and observational study visits have given me a lot of experience in different settings, including a reception class, a nursery and a baby room.

They have all been useful in putting the theory I have learnt into practice. I am hoping to continue my studies after graduating from this route to study either a PGCE course or Early Years Education PGCert with Early Years Teacher Status.

My advice to potential applicants would be to take some time to gain a bit of experience. This can be really helpful in both your application and your studies.
