**Summary**: Are you interested in working with children, families or young people? Would you like to learn about how childhood has changed and why? Perhaps you are interested in how schools and education can help, or possibly hinder, some children or the role of social and justice services in protecting children and young people? **Course details**: The programme is delivered by staff with specialist knowledge and practice in formal and informal education, sociology, psychology and social research. In the final year of the programme your dissertation allows for further specialisation as well as developing your research and analytical skills. You can study this programme with a range of career interests in mind, ranging from primary teaching to social work, education support work or youth and probation work and, after graduation with the right degree classification, you are ideally placed to further these career interests by moving into work or taking a professional qualification at postgraduate level. **After the course**: This programme develops your independent thinking and analytical and communication skills and will help you become a clear and confident writer – all crucial to modern jobs and particularly those based around working with children and young people in a holistic fashion. Completion of this degree will support potential careers in public services, such as educational support roles in schools and colleges, the police, probation and local authority, youth support services and voluntary sector projects. Some graduates pursue careers in primary schools and adult education sector training. All programmes are designed to incorporate employability skills development alongside your degree course. Our staff utilise their extensive connections to provide many and varied opportunities to engage with potential employers through fairs, guest lecture sessions, live projects and site visits. In addition we offer a series of workshops and events in the first, second and third year that ensure all students are equipped with both degree level subject knowledge PLUS the practical skills that employers are looking for in new graduate recruits. Our award winning careers service works with regional and national employers to advertise graduate positions, in addition to providing post-graduation support for all Teesside University alumni.

Under the guidance of experienced and committed staff, your learning involves a combination of lectures, seminars, workshops and guided reading. In lectures, specific information is delivered to larger groups while in the smaller seminar groups issues can be explored in more depth. Workshops are informal sessions in which you can extend your knowledge or seek further clarification of issues. Apart from scheduled teaching sessions, staff are readily available to provide further academic support and guidance. Some modules make use of a variety of guest speakers, such as academics and practitioners, to deliver lectures that enhance your learning experience and broaden your education. Assessment is varied and includes essays, case studies, literature reviews, essay plans, presentations, examinations and a dissertation. You also undertake formative assessments, tasks which do not count towards your overall mark but provide you with feedback so you can realise your full potential in those assessments that do count.
