"summary": "BA (Hons) Degree in Childhood Studies, Care and Education, awarded by the University of Gloucestershire, and regulated by the Office for Students.\n\nThe 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.\n\nThis 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.\n\nThis 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.",
