This degree provides an introduction to the psychology of childhood. It will explore aspects of human behaviour and interaction, and help you to understand why and how children may behave as they do. You will study holistic development, education and experiences of children from birth to early adolescence (0-11) with a focus on theory, policy and practice. Throughout your degree, you will explore childhood and children's development by examining their learning experiences from a range of sociological, psychological, international and historical perspectives, across a range of contexts. As you develop and broaden your understanding of childhood, you will undertake research enquiries and placements opportunities, enabling you to reflect critically on perspectives of childhood.

A Childhood degree is an excellent foundation for careers working with children and young people in many sectors including health, education and social care.
