Children and Childhoods, BA Hons FullTime
I am currently studying in my second year on the Early childhood studies course at Sheffield Hallam (0-8 years) and I have really enjoyed all the content taught so far. I like the verity of different jobs that my course offers from, Child therapists to home visitors and Nursery/KS1 teaching. My course has given me a taste of what all 3 can offer as a potential future job. The support from my academic advisor has be particularly helpful when making decisions throughout the course so far and also just for a one-to-one chat when needed. I love this course and how it offers more that just an overview in teaching. read more

Overall the course has been great. The majority of tutors are absolutely wonderful. The only downside to this course has been the number of cancelled lectures and our contact ours. People from other courses often commented on how I was in university less often than them and how they'd expect me to be in more often. Placements are great and incredibly useful though! read more

If you're looking for a stable career that's gonna give you a good salary then look no further. Honestly, I wanted to be an actor before coming here, but after looking at the state of the economy and how much it costs to buy olive oil, I decided to listen to mom and dad and get a real job. Not complaining much tho, I found a really cute girlfriend on my course, and we're almost on our 1 month anniversary! So moral of the story? Ummm... Go do this course if you wanna find someone? Or I don't know, go inspire and raise the future generation or smth. read more
