Course content
If you have a degree, and ideally experience of working with young people, then this is the course for you. You may want to become a (JNC) Professionally Recognised Youth Worker or gain a Masters level postgraduate qualification, or both! This course will provide you with an opportunity to both study and work in Children and Young People Services across differing settings and contexts giving you the freedom to guide your career the way you want to.
This course is approved and endorsed by the National Youth Agency.
There are two routes within the Masters degree:
Work-Based Practice (non-endorsed pathway)
This pathway will enable the critical reflection of practice incorporating the related module themes. It will enable you to apply sociological thinking to real world issues and problems in relation to the practice context.
Students who successfully complete 180 Credits on this pathway will graduate with the MA Leadership and Practice with Young People.
Supervised Practice (JNC-endorsed pathway)
Your practice will be observed and assessed against the Youth Work National Occupational Standards or ‘NOS’ (2019) and will require a minimum of 400hrs professional practice placement. On completion of the endorsed route, you will be eligible to apply for Youth Work roles nationally with JNC professionally qualified status.
Students who successfully complete 180 Credits on this pathway will graduate with the MA Youth Work Leadership and Practice (JNC).
