Program Overview


This programme will undergo periodic review in 2022. As such, course content shown below may change to ensure the programme remains current. Any applicants will be informed of any changes once confirmed.

The programme is offered as a full-time mode of study over one academic year. Delivery runs across a 24 week academic year comprising university based studies and practice in negotiated placement settings.

The programme is modular in structure with a total of three modules making up the programme. The 60 credit module incorporates fieldwork practice and sits alongside two 30 credit modules.

This core ‘spine’ of modules is undertaken by all students:

  • Professional Practice in Youth Work (60 credits)

  • Preparation for Learning in Youth & Community Work (30 credits)

  • The Social Context of Youth & Community Work (30 credits)

  • Program Outline

    The key features of this programme are that it offers both academic and professional qualifications in youth work simultaneously, underlining the fundamental link between theory and practice.

    The programme teaching team intend to encourage learning and teaching methods that are, as far as practicable, appropriate to youth and community work practice. The programme will therefore be taught according to the following principles: Adult learners bring with them experiences that can be used as resources for learning and to which new learning should be related;

  • Adult learners bring with them experiences that can be used as resources for learning and to which new learning should be related;
  • Adult learners can help each other because of their wealth of experience and their capacity for collective learning;

  • The educative methods used should adhere to the principles underpinning youth and community work delivery, where possible;

  • The educative methods used should have relevance to youth and community work delivery and experience, where possible;

  • The learning environment should be a safe and accepting environment.

  • Participative and interactive lectures, self-directed study, peer-led seminars and small group tutorials will be the most prevalent teaching methods in university while individual tutorials will tend to take place in placement settings. Reflective practice will be encouraged as a primary form of learning on this programme and will be utilised in both the university and placement setting.
