Childhood, Youth and Community
We offer a range of courses that explore children and childhood in contemporary society. These courses are designed to prepare you for a number of careers relating to babies, children and young people in a variety of different professional contexts. Each course places the lives of children and their experiences of childhood at its heart, whilst being subtly different in terms of ages studied, placement opportunities and delivery modes.
