If you’re looking to progress your career working with young people, community groups and partnerships, then this course could be ideal for you. You’ll already be working in the sector and you’ll have the opportunity to study part-time alongside students studying the full-time Youth and Community Work BA(Hons).
Why Youth and Community Work In-Service?
* Upon successful completion of the course, you’ll achieve a degree in Youth and Community Work as well as being awarded the professional Youth Work qualification endorsed by the National Youth Agency and recognised by the Joint Negotiating Committee for Youth and Community Work.
* You’ll have the opportunity to explore a whole range of subjects relating to young people in today’s society, including education, learning and development, society and how groups and communities interact, social policy and inclusion. We’ll also support you in expanding your knowledge and understanding of government policies, current theories and strategies relating to young people.
* Students undertaking the in-service route to qualification will use their place of work as their main placement. In addition, in your third or fourth year you’ll normally do a secondary placement of approximately 230 hours in an alternative setting.
* You’ll be taught by an outstanding team of teachers. You’ll also have access to our extensive professional and academic network which feeds directly into course design and delivery and to excellent facilities and specialist equipment.
