Overview

This page covers Childhood Studies across the departments we work with, including what each asks for and what it charges. It is a one year foundation course, the year before an undergraduate degree begins.

Teaching in Childhood and Youth Studies combines taught modules with placement or laboratory time, and the placement element is what varies most between departments.

Applications open around a year ahead of the intake. Getting the documents together early is what keeps the September date realistic.

Entry requirements

Careers opportunities

Read carefully whether a course leads to registration with a United Kingdom regulator, because that single fact decides whether you can practise here. Many excellent health courses are academic rather than clinical, and they lead to laboratory, research, industry or public health work instead.

Roles graduates go into

  • Registered practitioner, where the course leads to registration
  • Clinical or research scientist
  • Public health analyst
  • Clinical trials coordinator
  • Health service manager
  • Medical affairs or regulatory officer

Where they work

  • NHS trusts and private providers
  • Pharmaceutical and medical device companies
  • Public health bodies and local authorities
  • University and hospital research groups
  • Contract research organisations
After the course

Where a course is approved, registration with the relevant regulator is the step that lets you practise. Where it is not, the route on is usually a research degree or a specialist scientist training programme.
