Your guide to Early Childhood Degrees

Early Childhood degrees offer a wide and exciting choice of career opportunities and with a sector crying out for early years graduates, now is a particularly good time to consider this level of study.

However, with so many degrees out there it can be difficult making a meaningful comparison about what’s on offer and finding a course that provides the right mix of academic work and practical placement.

With this in mind, Nursery World and EYE have partnered with the Early Childhood Studies Degrees Network (ECSDN) to produce an in-depth guide to Early Childhood degrees that are currently open for application.

 Guidance includes:

• Choosing the right degree
• The various entry qualification routes available
• Career opportunities
• A 'Road to Success' poster outlining a variety of different study routes and career paths
• Eight student Q+A's 
• Three in depth student graduate case studies 
• An outline of the Early Childhood Graduate Practitioner Competencies (GPC's) 

You will also have the opportunity to get to know the ECSDN, with an introduction from the co-chair, and insight into its history and values.
