Apply theory to practice in this flexible degree course, and develop skills required to support young people in a range of graduate employment settings.
Youth work has been described as ‘the science of enabling young people to believe in themselves and build positive futures’ (National Youth Agency).
Working with people primarily aged between 11 and 25 is both a challenging and rewarding career choice and the professionals specializing in this field aim to support a young person to develop both personally and socially.
On this course, you’ll cover the history and development of youth and community work, explore the self, groups and learning, society and social policy, and develop your understanding of social science.
You’ll also be looking at oppression, globalization, how agencies work together, and community development and management, as well as enhancing your research, practical and managerial skills.
Compulsory work placements in youth and community centers, and schools and voluntary organizations, provide ample opportunity to achieve hands-on experience working alongside professional youth and community workers. And you’ll see, first-hand, some of the issues that can affect young people and their communities.
