Location of University of Greenwich
Child development and childhood are emerging academic disciplines of increasing importance. There is widespread recognition that the experience of childhood is highly significant for children and their lay and professional carers. The study of child development draws on a range of foundation disciplines including psychology, physiology, sociology and anthropology. The fusions of elements from these disciplines have been drawn together to provide a multidisciplinary holistic perspective on childhood.
First year studies include an introduction to the concepts of childhood and to child development. Issues addressed in second year studies include childhood autonomy and rights, the social world of the child while in the final year, the student has a choice of studies including contemporary issues in child and adolescent development, contemporary parenting and recognising children at risk.
Child Development courses are taught by the School of Health and Social Care at the Avery Hill Campus. Depending on your selected combination you may be required to travel between campuses.

Take testRequirements
Entry requirements for combined honours degrees are the same as for single honours, with the additional requirement that combinations that include mathematics must have A-level mathematics or equivalent. For combinations that include a language, a minimum of a GCSE at grade C may be required in that language.
Entry Requirements - Degree Programmes
For degree programmes we ask for at least 160 UCAS points. These can be made up from the following:
* a maximum of 60 points may be obtained from AS-levels or ASVCEs alone; at least 100 points should be obtained from A-levels or AVCEs (formerly AGNVQs;
* or at least 12 A-level points, if taken before 2002;
* or an Advanced GNVQ with a minimum Merit profile (if taken before 2002);
* or a BTEC National Diploma at MPP
* or an International Baccalaureate, with at least 24 points
In addition, we normally require at least three GCSEs at grade C or above (including English and mathematics) or equivalent, for example, a Key Skills qualification.
Language skills
If English is not your first language, you will need to provide proof of your fluency in English before you can begin a programme. The main systems for measuring this are IELTS with a minimum score of 6.0 for degree programmes or TOEFL with a minimum score of 550 for degree programmes. Recently the TOEFL computer-based test has been abolished to make way for the introduction of the Internet-based test, gradually eliminating the traditional paper-based method. Other qualifications may be satisfactory. We can tell you what is acceptable.
