Course summary

The overall aim is to produce qualified Community Youth Workers to undertake key roles to the required professional standard.

Successful completion of the level 7 PgDip Community Youth Work equips the graduate with the professional qualification. They will have developed a critical understanding of a complex body of knowledge. The graduate will have developed reflective, analytical and problem-solving skills suitable for a range of employment opportunities in the profession. The graduate will be able to evaluate evidence, arguments and assumptions, to reach sound judgements, and to communicate effectively. Completion of the PgDip Community Youth Work enables graduates to complete the MSc by dissertation (1 year).
