The programme has children and young people at its centre and focuses on the many influences that affect their learning, development, health and wellbeing. It draws on expertise from a wide range of relevant disciplines, including education, health, sociology, psychology, criminology and social care. Students develop a holistic understanding of the knowledge and skills needed for multidisciplinary and team working in a range of communities and work settings.
In Year 1, studies include child development, contrasting formal and informal learning, inequalities, health promotion and community development. In Years 2 and 3, this flexible degree enables students to concentrate on a particular age group or specialism such as education, health or society and the effects these may have on children’s development.
There is an opportunity to take a volunteering module in Year 2, which involves reflecting on your experience of working alongside children or young people.
