The childhood studies course at Bristol offered a unique and broad perspective of child development, provisions for children in the UK, education and many more different aspects of childhood. The course is incredibly interesting and looking at such a wide range of disciplines enables a wide range of career options.

Further to this, the course lecturers offer a huge amount of support; both academically and with regards to looking at what we wanted to do after we finished university. For example, through the use of a career day, where former students come and talk about what they are doing and how the course supported them in doing so.

Where are they now?

The course also prepared me to cope with the academic demands of the primary PGCE at the University of Cambridge, which is the equivalent to half a master’s degree in education and I have just accepted my first teaching post at an outstanding school in North London.
