A new Early Childhood Studies degree is being launched this September through an innovative partnership between South Birmingham College and Wolverhampton University, to provide students with the academic qualification and practical experience they need to attain Early Years Professional Status.
It will break the mould of traditional university courses. In the first year, it will be taught from South Birmingham College, giving students a gentle introduction to university life. Although a full-time course, it will be concentrated over two days a week so students can both study and work, or fulfil family commitments.
The new BA honours degree course will be part of a pilot being run by the Children's Workforce Development Council looking at creating new routes to achieving EYPS.
