A degree to be recognised

By Di Chilvers, senior lecturer in Early Childhood Studies at Sheffield Hallam University Early Childhood Studies degrees are just that - three years of intensive study relating to children and childhood, which lead to a degree at Level 6. Students become expert practitioners in the area of educare from nought to eight years old. Some of our students have gone on to work as mentors with older children, or to support children with special educational needs in schools - as well as going on to further postgraduate study and teaching.
