Amber Harris
BA ( Hons ) in Childhood Studies
I started my Fife College journey when I was in High School in S5 . I did one of the School College Partnership courses , and from that course , just one day a week in the afternoon , I felt really passionate about what I was studying .
Therefore , I wanted to further my knowledge in this area , so I ended up leaving school and joined Fife College full time to do my National Certificate in Early Education and Childcare . From there I have done my HNC , my HND and now I am doing my BA ( Hons ) in Childhood Studies .
“ Once I am qualified with my Childhood Studies degree , I would like to go on to study a PDGE in Primary Teaching to become a qualified primary teacher .”
