FHSCE 16/09 / BA (Hons) / Early Childhood Studies (ECS) Top-Up /
  • Proposal to create an alternative DL mode of delivery for an undergraduate L6 top-up degree
  • The BA (Hons) ECS is a progression route for the FdA Early Years Playwork and Education, and this FdA is offered in both face-to-face and DL modes of delivery
  • Creation of a DL mode of delivery for the BA (Hons) ECS will enableprogressing DL FdA students to continue study to gain a full degree via the same DL mode of delivery
  • The proposal responds to demand for a DL route expressed in NSS feedback, providing equity in both face-to-face and DL delivery options for progression
  • The BA (Hons) ECS is in its fourth year of delivery so learning and teaching resources on the VLE are already in place for Level 6 modules (with the exception of MOD003304 UMP, which is to be validated for DL delivery via FQESS)
  • With effect from September 2017
