Additional Information:
The acquisition of knowledge of early childhood studies is progressive, and therefore study of the core areas continues and deepens throughout the honours degree. The revised benchmark statements for Early Childhood Studies (QAA, 2022), note that at the heart of the knowledge domains lies the study of child development, including social and developmental psychology. Therefore child development is studied progressively throughout the whole of the programme and this level 5 module builds on the level 4 module, Holistic Child Development 4201ECS and is designed to support this incremental knowledge and understanding.
