"summary": "This programme is the natural progression for students who have completed Lincoln Bishop University’s Foundation Degree in Early Childhood Education in Practice (Graduate Practitioner). It is also open to applicants with other, similar qualifications from the University or other institutions. The BA (Hons) Early \nChildhood Education in Practice (Graduate Practitioner) degree offers a flexible route to gaining a bachelor's qualification while continuing to work or volunteer regularly in a setting that supports learning. It may appeal to those working not only in schools but also in wider community, support, or care roles where teaching and learning are a core focus.\n\nThe BA (Hons) degree is a work-based programme, and you will attend one day per week. This format is designed to make it possible to continue working or volunteering while you study.Throughout this one-year programme, you will build on your prior study and professional experience to deepen your understanding of current issues, practice, and practitioner research in early childhood education. The programme welcomes applicants from a range of early childhood contexts, including nurseries, preschool settings, reception classes in schools, childminders, home-based care, and community projects that support the learning and development of young children and their families. The programme also integrates the full and relevant criteria set by the Department for Education and meets the Graduate Practitioner Competency requirements of the Early Childhood Studies Degree Network (ECSDN). Upon successful completion, you will have the opportunity to gain sector-recognised Graduate Practitioner status.\n\nThe modules will encourage you to critically reflect on your own practice, analyse key systems and policies, and explore professional challenges through topics such as leadership, contemporary social and political issues, and critical approaches to pedagogy. You will have the opportunity to develop your understanding of the complex factors that contribute to children’s learning and development. Building on the knowledge and understanding gained from your foundation degree, this course aims to stretch and deepen your insight into how to support children by exploring alternative perspectives on child development.",
