What to study at uni? Childhood studies/Early childhood studies

Hi,
I'm currently study level 3 dimploa in childcare and education. I have written my personal statement and it is completed. I recieved a grade B for my level 3 certifcate in childcare and ecucation and aiming for the same or higher this year. My dream career would be to become a primary school teacher however due to my science grade i am unable to study primary education . i just wanted some adivce on the following degrees

Ba(Hons) Early childhood studies
Ba(Hons) Childhood studies

I am also struggling to decide which universities are the best to study these degrees at

From what i can see childhood studies is more like what i do now but in more detail and wider context and early childhood studies goes into history, sociology etc.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Thanks
Elle

Hi

Im a first year studying Early Childhood Studies and im hoping to become a primary school teacher too

I dont know much about Childhood Studies but i know for ECS (especially at my uni) it covers a wide range of holistic topics- history, sociology, psychology, health, education etc

I might be a bit bias but i do think this is a good course. As it's quite broad it allows you to go into various jobs in this sector.

Do you know what universities youre applying to or are interested in?

You could always do gcse science at college or level 2 equivalent.

I’ve heard you can do secondary teaching then go into primary school teaching so you have both options available. You could always study the early childhood studies or childhood studies then do gcse science alongside because I think you need it for pgce.

I’ve opted for a different degree all together, may do pgce later if I want to into teaching

Thank you so much for applying

I was wondering would you be able to tell me where you are studying

The ones i have looked at are
university of wolverhampton
birmingham city univeristy
univeristy of derby
university of northampton

I live in birmingham but i want to more than move out of the famliy home

thank you for you reply

yeah but im currently doing maths at college so therefore would end up doing science alongside my degree

Do you need it for PGCE? If not, then don’t bother

yeah you do i just checked theres no way of me getting out off it

Hiya Elle

I am not sure what you're referring to as a BA in Childhood Studies since none of the Universities you've listed offer a course with that title.

Are you referring to Education Studies?
