Training provider launches University of Leeds degree route

Careers & Training
Early years students can gain fast track entry into a Russell Group university degree through early years training provider PBD.

PBD has teamed up with the University of Leeds to provide a route on to the second year of the university’s part-time honours degree programmes in Child and Family Studies or Learning and Teaching.

The Child and Family Studies degree brings together professional practice, work-based research, policy and theory about child and family welfare, while the latter is aimed at training managers to question education policies and make an informed contribution to their organisation.

The courses are run by the university’s Lifelong Learning Centre, which is aimed at mature students and offers the courses part-time one afternoon a week over five years. The move would mean that students skip the first year of the foundation degree and can either leave after taking the remaining two years (when they would gain a foundation degree) or complete four years of study to leave with a BA with honours.
