This programme is suited to those already involved or interested in working with people in communities in order to facilitate critical and social education. Learning about theories, principles and practices of Community Education, you will examine concepts that underpin equality and social justice. Practice learning placement is integral to the programme and is developed through experiential learning in a Community Education setting. Students can use existing voluntary or paid work for two out of three placements. UWS graduates move into roles as youth workers, adult educators and community development practitioners in areas such as community health, regeneration, family learning, facilities management, home school partnership work, development of achievement awards, managing national and international charities, teaching in further and higher education, working across the statutory, voluntary, community and public sectors at home and abroad. The BA and BA Hons are approved as professional qualifying programmes in CLD by the Community Learning and Development Standards Council for Scotland.

Students will normally undertake modules comprising 120 credits in each year of the programme, with 480 credits being required for the award of Bachelor of Arts (Hons). A core component of learning is obtained through practice learning with engagement in an appropriate fieldwork setting. At least 40% of learning is undertaken in a practice setting in order to meet the standard set by the Community Learning and Development (CLD) Standards Council for Scotland. In year one, students learn about values, principles, practices and competencies underpinning community education. Students will also learn a language of their choice. In year two, students synthesise theory and practice, and choose electives in order to develop professional identity. By year three, students consolidate their learning in a capstone project that helps them to take a critical stance in asserting an emancipatory professional practice. And finally, in year four, students function as professional practitioners and use evidence from a final research study to assert their professional capabilities.
