“The graduate employment rate is also impressive <strong>and</strong> the fact that<br />
£20million is being invested in new learning facilities, including a<br />
new library shows how highly the students’ needs are regarded.”<br />

<strong>Early</strong> <strong>Childhood</strong> <strong>Education</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Care</strong> gives you<br />
the opportunity to explore early year’s education<br />
for young children, which is recognised as being<br />
the foundation of their future learning. The theory<br />
side really helps to give an underst<strong>and</strong>ing of the<br />
background of early year’s education regarding<br />
where it has come from <strong>and</strong> how it plays a major<br />
role in today’s society. It is great when you can<br />
practice these theories during work placements. I<br />
thought it would be fascinating to see how children<br />
develop <strong>and</strong> gain knowledge, <strong>and</strong> to investigate the<br />
complex <strong>and</strong> dem<strong>and</strong>ing nature of education.<br />
The friendly approach of the <strong>University</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />
helps students to become more familiar with one<br />
another <strong>and</strong> gives a much more personal feeling,<br />
which helps when you are an undergraduate.<br />
I believe to be a good educator you have to<br />
underst<strong>and</strong> about all aspects of childhood, which<br />
is why the <strong>Early</strong> <strong>Childhood</strong> <strong>Education</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Care</strong><br />
course at <strong>Newman</strong> is ideal. The course will give<br />
me the knowledge to be a better, more empathetic<br />
practitioner.<br />
I think the on-line debate forums are great - through<br />
this method you can keep track of points being<br />
made <strong>and</strong> also hear other students’ point of view.<br />
I also like the resources available to us; the library,<br />
the lecturers <strong>and</strong> <strong>Newman</strong>’s virtual learning<br />
tool - Moodle.<br />
I am also a student representative at <strong>Newman</strong><br />
<strong>University</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>and</strong> hope to help with ensuring<br />
the course satisfies everybody’s needs.<br />
<strong>Newman</strong> is in a great central location, quite a small<br />
<strong>University</strong> <strong>College</strong>, but I think this gives it a good<br />
sense of community <strong>and</strong> its harder to get lost! The<br />
graduate employment rate is also impressive <strong>and</strong><br />
the fact that £20million is being invested in new<br />
learning facilities, including a new library shows<br />
how highly the students’ needs are regarded.<br />
