Early Childhood Education and Care

At University Centre Somerset, we firmly believe that working with children is an incredibly rewarding career choice. Not only is it incredibly fulfilling, it also opens doors to a thriving and expanding industry.

Whether you're interested in pre-school provision, social care, or youth work, our programmes set out to prepare you for a successful and impactful career. Led by experienced professionals who remain at the forefront of research and practice in their field, our degrees ensure that students receive the most current and relevant education, empowering them to thrive in the ever-evolving landscape of early childhood education and care.
