What makes young people tick? What shapes and influences children’s development? How can the adults who work with children support them more effectively? Childhood and youth studies is one of the UK’s fastest growing academic disciplines. The OU is a pioneer in this field and over the last 15 years has developed this wide-ranging interdisciplinary degree for anyone working with children and young people or with a general interest in the field.
Please note: in England this course does not provide Early Years Teacher Status (EYTS) or Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and in Scotland this course does not lead to SSSC registration in daycare of children’s services. GCSE requirements may affect eligibility. See the Careers section for further details.
