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

Working with Children, Young People and Families, FdA FullTime
Doing the course for 1 year as a foundation year to progress onto child nursing. Staff are friendly and can be helpful, the course content is good however a lot of stuff I have done in college so sometimes feel as though I am not learning much. But still informative. A lot of opportunities can arise from the course but additional courses have do be done to reach them and the jobs that can be gained solely from this course can be obtained without the degree. Good if you would just like a qualification in something but jobs can be reachable through other routes read more

I feel I am very lucky to gain the experience I will on this course but feel that the course lacks in the amount of teaching days we get in comparison to the price we pay. In seminar 2 I have been scheduled to two days a week which I don’t feel is good value for money. But I really enjoy my course as a whole. read more
