    Anybody here do the course Early Childhood Education? This is definitely the kind of course I want to do, I was just wondering does anyone here have any first hand experience of it. Also, what is DIT like as a place with regards to facilities and stuff. Any replies would be appreciated.

    Hey i've just completed 1st Year if this course!! Absolutely loved it and can't wait for second year.

    One major element of the course is the importance of work placement which you will complete 1 day a week for the year with 3 block weeks(Monday-Friday) in Oct, January and March. You can be placed in many different child orientated setting, in second and third year you get the chance to choose the type of placement you would like.

    The different lectures/classes are all quite linked and the topics are really interesting. Likewise the lecturers don't appear supperior to the students, they are always there to help, sometimes even changing classes to suit the students if they have free times or if a class is cancelled. They are really friendly and down to earth people in general.
    There are two classes each year each with about 20/21 students. Therefore it is really easy to make friends and a wide variety of group work is completed throughtout the year so hence a great opportunity to talk to other in the class.
    The majority of the year is continuous assessment and completing assignments with exams for summer (we had 4 this year, so itz not too many).

    Hopefully you are more aware now but if you have any other questions about the course or DIT just PM me!!
