Description:

The Community and Youth Work degree will prepare you for a successful career in working with young people and in communities across a variety of settings, with a particular focus on personal and social development. This course, which received 100% Overall Satisfaction in the National Student Survey 2022, offers you the opportunity to develop your ability to work with communities and young people (both theoretically and via extensive practise) and study the knowledge, skills and values of Youth and Community Work in order to graduate with a professional JNC qualification in Youth Work alongside your degree. Just like the practice of Community and Youth Work, this course has been designed in a creative way and offers much more than lectures and writing essays by going beyond the theoretical. You will learn how to understand the problems faced by young people and communities and how to change situations and realities. In our curriculum, we focus on achieving social justice and celebrating the assets that are abundant in communities and societies, particularly within those communities that have been disadvantaged. Our curriculum covers everything from transformational Informal Education to Organisational Management.



The BA (Hons) Community and Youth Work Studies course at the University of Sunderland is the only professionally qualifying Youth Work degree in the North East and offers you a holistic learning experience which has professional practice and employability built in. It celebrates young people and communities and supports critical awareness of the social inequality that shapes lives. If you’re ready to make a positive difference in the world, the course team are ready to hear from you.
