Early Childhood Studies degrees are FUN!

Students on Monday were learning about STEAM activities for early years and Primary Education. But they learn best by doing! So Wendy Meadows, our Specialist in Primary Education, took a hands on approach and got the students taking part in the activities.

Early childhood studies degree is a passionate exploration of how children learn from birth to primary education. Our degree offers fun, challenge and flexibility.

We are just one big academic family 🥰

Yesterday we hosted the year 3's formative reasearch poster event. This event is part of the Research Methodologies module and outlines their projects they will undertake for their dissertation next year.

It was a really positive event, and I'd like to say a huge thank you to the UCC lecturing staff as well as Joanne Gwillim and the 1st year T-Level students for attending.
