This degree matches the Standard for Childhood Practice in Scotland and is designed to develop degree-level professionals and future leaders in the sector. Work based learning is a major and central feature of the course.
The degree is a part-time programme and modules can be delivered in two ways: traditional sessions with tutors one evening per week from 6 to 9 pm and occasional Saturdays, and a blend of e-learning, using a virtual learning environment, and group instruction (Honours year). The course structure is divided according to the three main aspects of professional development, as outlined in the Scottish Social Services Council document - The Standard for Childhood Practice (2007).
