PROGRAMME AIMS On completion of the undergraduate Early Childhood Studies and Sociology joint honours programme, students will have a sophisticated understanding of the the discipline of sociology in conjunction with the field of early childhood studies and its transdisciplinary linkages to allied disciplines such as cultural studies and politics that allow a critical approach to the understanding of self in society and social organisations, processes and groups in social, economic, cultural and political contexts, with particular and sustained emphasis on how young children experience and engage social processes, organisation and practices. They will have the analytical skills to engage critically with empirical work and theoretical interpretations, and draw upon intellectual, practical and transferable skills in analysing issues and problems, retrieving relevant data and information and reporting and presenting their reading, and work effectively as individuals and in groups to produce and communicate high quality work. The specific aims of the Early Childhood Studies and Sociology Joint Honours Programme are for students, on completion, to be able to: 1. Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the social, psychological, political, educational, health and cultural context for the study of early childhood and the multi-disciplinary and inter-professional nature of early years theory, policy and practice 2. Demonstrate the capacity to engage in critical analysis of the professional ideologies, philosophies and discourses, and the policies and practices of those engaged in working with young children and families 3. Demonstrate the intellectual and study skills of the student for the collection, interpretation, understanding, presentation and critical analysis of theory, policy and practice issues concerning early childhood and sociology 4. Demonstrate the knowledge, understandings and skills necessary to demonstrate a competence in thinking sociologically, reading and comprehending sociology literature and research, and engaging in sociological inquiry. 5. Demonstrate the capacity for criticism and analysis of social phenomena, changes and developments, nationally and internationally. 6. Demonstrate specialist knowledge and understanding in the particular themes that characterise the programme and reflect of research-led curriculum, including the sociological study of conflict, identity, culture, the arts, political sociology and early childhood studies 7. Demonstrate knowledge and a range of interpersonal, transferable and employability skills to enhance their capacity to find employment in a range of contexts. 8.Demonstrate the capacities of a critical, reflective and autonomous learners and to develop the ability for learning to learn. 9. Demonstrate skills and aptitudes that constitute a platform from which they may successfully enter post-graduate study in related areas. 21.

Core modules are essential to learners' achievement of their target award, often in respect of meeting professional standards, and are excluded from the application of condonement by assessment boards. 2. Compulsory modules are prescribed modules but are not core and therefore are condonable. 3. Optional modules are offered within programmes to provide an element of choice and variety within the programme curriculum. They do not form part of the compulsory curriculum requirements for the programme. The availability of optional modules may vary from year to year which means that not all optional modules may be available in any given year and will be subject to the module achieving minimum student numbers. Students will be required to make optional choices on an annual basis for each academic year of study. Subject to approval at by the Faculty, subject option modules of up to credits at FHEQ levels 5 or 6 may be substituted by Free Elective modules from the wider module portfolio where available. Free Electives provide additional choice and breadth for learners, complement their subject study and may enhance their employability.

STUDENT 'LEARNING JOURNEY' Page 7
AtLevel 4, students undertake a foundation of modules that provide an introduction to sociological theory, concepts, ideas and analysis and exercise this foundation across community, national and global studies, with a particular focus and emphasis on the field of early childhood studies and the 'new sociology of childhood'. s provide a foundation for later specialisation in the programme, and cross disciplines in providing synergies with cultural studies, politics and political economy, particularly in the study of young children. Students enhance their skills through a structurally embedded personal development programme (PDP) that focuses on their academic learning skills and reflection upon planning their subsequent intellectual and vocational trajectories through and beyond undergraduate study. They also have the option of a fieldtrip to London in which they enrich their learning experience with visits to cultural and institutional settings such as the Coram Institute, the British Museum, Harrow School and London Theatreland, under the broad theme of children in society. Students have a compulsory curriculum for Year 1 At Level 5, students build on their foundation and consolidate their theoretical, analytical, and transdisciplinary knowledge and understandings, so developing sophisticated skills from which to pursue specialisms. The curriculum is research-led in that it focuses on areas of early childhood studies and sociology that elide with staff research specialisms, in particular studies in sexuality and gender and social divisions, state violence and resistance, global cultural analyses and studies in early childhood studies that focus on children in relation to topics such as equality, food and sustainability, welfare and childhood representations. These both reflect research strengths in the Department and lay the basis for Level 6 specialisation. Students also acquire research skills and have the option of acquiring foundation language skills, and their PDP activity is embedded in modules that require them to engage with external partner organisations and groups and take their studies into local and regional contexts - enhancing their employability. They have the option of undertaking a fieldtrip in Amsterdam in intensive study, including archival work and working with specialist speakers and organisations, through SPY 2137. AtLevel 5students must take SPY 21, SPY 2136 and SPY 2137. In addition they must choose one module from each of the following three groups of modules: SPY 2123, SPY 2126 or SPY 2128; SPY 2125 or SPY 2138 or TLC 1010; SPY2127 or SPY 2139. AtLevel 6students have access to specialised modules that reflect research strengths in the Department to develop their own specialist knowledge and understandings. They have the option of undertaking a student-directed study to reflect their advanced independent learning skills, project management and reflexivity, and so enhance their PDP studies. The specialisms include compulsory specialisms in sexuality and gender and violence and resistance, which are compulsory and provide a strong specialist curriculum that all students undertake in sociology, along with options that range across ideas and empirical studies of international perspectives. social work and education in relation to early childhood, community engagement based around employability, art and culture. SPY 3125 affords students the option of concentrating their studies with a cultural and comparative perspective with the module based around a fieldtrip to a European city to explore its history, culture, politics and social organisations, and SPY 3110 afford them an opportunity to ground their studies of violence and division in community society with a trip to the North of Ireland They can also access advanced language skills as a part of their studies. In both level 5 and Level 6, students have options to engage with single semester study abroad, and for a full year in Level 5. They also have the option of a sandwich year in work as a part of their undergraduate programme. The following diagram outlines the form in which modules will be presented to students with relevant choices and options: The BA (Hons) Early Childhood Studies and Sociology Joint provides opportunities for students to develop their sociological knowledge and understandings combined with a greater focus and application to the field of early childhood studies. Students develop and demonstrate a range of learning outcomes commensurate to single honours students, whilst also showing a particular specialism in early childhood studies that may have more vocational value within that field of employment as well as emphasising the transdisciplinary and applied nature of sociological studies. At level 5 Internal Joint students must study SPY2137 Sexualities: Identities, Politics and Culture and SPY2136 States, Conflict and Political Violence, and at Level 6 SPY3112 Desire: Law, Politics, Ethics and Desire and SPY3110 Critical Terrorism Studies. Depending on the choice of modules at Level 5 and 6, students will be able to engage in studies relevant to both academic interest and vocational predisposition in respect of young children As with all joint degrees, the difference between this and a single honours degree emerges in the different focus and depth of subject knowledge and range of skills and choice of subject areas - notably in the distinction between learning critical academic skills in reading social sciences and the skills of doing social science that are supported at single honours. What is important is that this joint has commensurate or equivalent depths of subject knowledge and skills and choice, and provides students with a particular orientation to their studies whilst lying within the broad parameters of a sociological degree. As both Joint subjects lie within the Department of Social Sciences, they share the range of administrative, quality and student support policies and systems and have similar governance as specified in part B of this document. 24. TEACHING AND LEARNING AND ASSESSMENT STRATEGIES Page 8
The Joint programme will be taught through a variety of methods including a comprehensive induction programme, formal lectures, small group seminars, workshops, university VLE, IT workshops, student led discussions, role play exercises and the use of guest speakers/lectures. The programme is developmental and progression through levels is achieved with students becoming increasingly independent in terms of taking greater responsibility for their own learning and their choice of study topics and materials. For example, the balance between tutor-led and student-led activities gradually shifts towards the latter as the programme progresses. Progression through levels will be achieved by the gradually increasing sophistication and complexity of the tasks that students will be required to accomplish. Increasing priority will be attached to the concept of individualised learning so as the programme develops, the role of the tutor becomes more focused on establishing the overarching concerns and debates around particular issues while students increasingly take responsibility for their own learning. Lectures provide introductions to and overviews of the relevant subject areas; to stimulate students' interest in particular topics; to impart information about key theoretical concepts and debates; to examine particular case studies; to explain various approaches to the discipline; to provide guidance to further independent study. Seminars and workshops provide students with the opportunity to use the knowledge acquired from lectures and independent study in order to apply theories to real life cases; to discuss and debate topics with other students and tutors and thus facilitate the exchange of information and encourage team working and communication skills; to review and discuss novel or complex issues and theories in more depth; to articulate views and opinions on relevant issues and to develop problem solving skills. The teaching and learning strategy is designed to enable students to progressively develop their powers of inquiry, including the ability to synthesise, evaluate and analyse criminological sources, and the capacity to effectively use such information to formulate arguments and make assessments. It also aims to enable students to develop their capacity for the critical evaluation and analysis of contrasting and competing arguments and perspectives, and their ability to use sources of evidence to justify a considered opinion on a range of debates. 25. FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT Overall, the purpose of assessment on the programme is to: - Diagnose student potential - Diagnose student learning strengths and weaknesses - Evaluate student progress - Identify possible learning problems - Measure achievement at appropriate academic levels - Provide a means of feedback to learners - Motivate students by requiring them to demonstrate the knowledge, understanding, skills and competencies they have developed - Provide staff with information about the effectiveness of the teaching programme and curriculum - Contribute to quality assurance, by monitoring the extent to which students are achieving appropriate standards 26.
