The BA (Hons) Youth and Community Work (Youth Justice) degree allows you to qualify as a youth and community worker through an innovative specialised pathway in youth justice. Youth workers develop and co-ordinate programmes aimed at engaging young people, redressing inequalities, empowering individuals and maximising their potential. This degree will prepare you for a career working with children and young people in a range of settings, helping them to enhance their personal, social and educational development.

As part of the Youth and Community Work course, you will gain the UK-wide, professionally recognised Joint Negotiating Committee qualification which is endorsed by the Education and Training Standards Wales. You will expand your knowledge and skills to include critical, analytical and reflective thinking within a youth and community work setting. Our strong partnerships with local employers provide work placement opportunities to enhance your learning and employability.
