Norland

Norland’s BA (Hons) Early Childhood Education and Care degree is a three-year full-time undergraduate degree. Lecturers have considerable professional and academic experience in this field with their teaching drawing on many disciplines including psychology, neuroscience, child health, philosophy, social sciences and education.  

Just over 40% of the course is spent on placement in a range of early years settings, providing plenty of opportunities to put theory into practice. 

Running alongside the degree and for a fourth year afterwards is the Norland diploma. This qualification prepares students for all the practical aspects of the care and development of young children and critical professional and life skills. 

The final module of the diploma is the Newly Qualified Nanny (NQN) year, a 12-month probationary nanny job in paid full-time employment that Norland sources and supports students throughout.
