Course in depth
What this course covers, who it suits and where it leads.
What you'll study
This degree equips you with the knowledge and professional skills needed to work with young children in early years settings. You'll usually begin with foundational sociology, studying class, gender, race and social order, alongside social problems and policy, and an introduction to social research methods through interviews and surveys. As you progress, you'll move into social theory, learn quantitative and qualitative analysis, and explore applied streams such as childhood studies, social policy, gender and identity, or research methods. In later stages, you'll choose from specialist options including migration and contemporary debates, before completing a dissertation, your own empirical or theoretical research project on a social question of your choice.
Who it's for
You're drawn to working directly with young children and want to understand the evidence behind effective early years practice. You're interested in child development, learning environments, and how to support children's wellbeing and progress. You'll appreciate a blend of classroom-based theory, hands-on experience in nurseries and schools, and the chance to develop your own research ideas. If you didn't take A-levels, or want to build confidence before starting, the foundation year gives you that bridge.

International students
What applying to York St John University from outside the UK involves: fees, English, visa, funding and living costs.
Tuition fees
International tuition is £12,100 / year for this course (from the provider’s fee page). You’re not eligible for UK Tuition Fee or Maintenance Loans, so plan for fees plus living costs upfront.
English language
Most UK undergraduate courses ask for around IELTS 6.0–6.5 (no band below 5.5–6.0), or an accepted equivalent. If you’re just short, most universities run a pre-sessional English course that counts towards the requirement.
Student visa
You’ll usually need a Student visa (Student Route). After you accept an offer the university issues a CAS; you then show funds for fees plus about £1,023–£1,334/month living costs and pay the Immigration Health Surcharge for NHS access.
Scholarships & funding
Many universities offer international/global scholarships (often £2,000–£6,000/yr), check York St John University’s funding pages.
Living costs
Budget roughly £1,100–£1,400/month outside London and £1,400–£1,800/month in London for rent, food and travel; the figure also matters for your visa.
Working while you study
A Student visa usually allows up to 20 hours/week in term time and full-time in holidays, useful alongside study, though not something to rely on for fees.
Visa rules and fees change. Always confirm the current requirements with York St John University and gov.uk before you apply.
