Honours Degree
If you have a passion to make a positive difference to young people’s lives, in the wider integrated youth workforce, involved in such areas as youth justice, substance misuse or advice and guidance, then this is the course for you.
Introduction
This innovative course has been developed with employers for those who want to work with young people in a broad spectrum of universal, support or targeted roles in the context of integrated services. Some of our modules will equip you with the skills and knowledge required to relate to young people, to advise and guide them, and to work in partnership with them through their transition to adulthood. Other modules will deepen your understanding of those particular areas of practice that interest you, such as substance misuse or youth justice and others may provide options for skill development in performance arts or sport.
You can be flexible in the way you study. One option is to keep your job in youth justice, advice and guidance or substance
misuse work with young people whilst attending university one or two days per week in term time. Another is to undertake placements – and you can move between these options. You will
also have the opportunity to work shadow in a related area of practice including youth work.
