Course summary

About This Course

These subjects enable you to study the social and psychological processes that impact childrens lives today. Youll engage with a broad range of topics relevant to 21st century childhood and youth and investigate behaviour and the biological, social and individual factors that affect human psychology. This can lead to a wide range of careers including teaching, social work, counselling and law where youll make a real difference to the lives of young people.

The fields of Childhood and Youth Studies and Psychology complement each other naturally. They support a combined approach to understanding the development of children and young people from biological and psychological perspectives, whilst encouraging an understanding of these elements within areas that affect the lives of children and young people most, such as their education, their interaction with peers and adults, and their wellbeing. This course allows you to study Psychology as part of a joint honours degree (50% Psychology, 50% Childhood Studies and Youth).

The Psychology part of the degree covers the investigation of behaviour from infancy to old age, and deals with the biological, social and individual factors that affect human psychology taught by psychology academics with renowned expertise in their fields. For the Childhood and Youth part of the course, youll follow innovative topics led by experienced education staff to develop your understanding of the history of childhood, childrens rights, the nature of childhood and the role of adults working with children in a national, European and international context. Youll engage in academic study in the fields of psychology, sociology, social policy, education, health and welfare relating to childrens lives.

Why choose Bangor University for this course?

  • Work placements to develop your understanding of childrens needs and development.
  • Professional and academic expertise across a diverse range of areas such as childrens rights, family law, bilingualism, education, social care, mental health, literacy, additional learning needs and inclusion.

Careers

The multi-disciplinary approach of the Childhood and Youth and Psychology degree offers a broad range of career choices in education and allied professions in the public and private sector, including health, social care, youth and community work. Alternately, some students continue their studies on a Masters programme or apply for a place on a PGCE Primary course.
The combined Childhood and Youth and Psychology course appeals to a very broad range of future employment opportunities within fields related to supporting and working with children and young people. The ability of graduates from these combined disciplines to understand childrens development and to locate and apply this knowledge within the context of roles and institutions that support children and young people, is highly sought after by employers in the field, and is essential in supporting careers in education, child-centred psychology and care services for young people.
