About the course

The BA Youth Work and Community Development offers degree level professional education and training. It is a unique, value-based course underpinned by a commitment to social justice, anti-oppressive practice and empowerment. These values inform teaching, learning, and the development of practice skills, enabling students to develop critical knowledge and understanding of a range of societal issues and problems that impact the lives of young people and the wider community. Topics include, but are not restricted to: social inequalities and social injustice, poverty, discrimination, participation and rights, mental health and wellbeing, safeguarding, social media, environmental justice, and crime and violence.
