Bachelor of Youth Work

This course aims to provide youth workers with practical management and leadership skills to help young people learn about themselves, others and society, through informal educational activities which combine enjoyment, challenge and learning. Youth Workers seek to promote young people’s personal and social development and enable them to have a voice, influence and place in their communities and society as a whole.

The course is well placed to train professionals who wish to work with young people to assist them to fulfil their potential. Students will increase their understanding of working with young people in community settings as well as acquire a sound knowledge of the structure and practices of the Youth Work industry. The course seeks to graduate students who have a critical awareness of the benefits of specialists in working with disadvantaged communities, in particular young people.
