Course content

Would you like to make a difference in the lives of young people and communities? This programme prepares you to work in the areas of youth work, community development, and social regeneration both in Ireland and internationally.

You’ll explore the social, political, and economic factors that shape communities and youth experiences.

Through field trips, practitioner-led workshops, and an internship, you’ll gain real-world insights and hands-on experience.

This MA is available full-time over one year or part-time over two years. Up to 15 places are available annually, and all applicants will be interviewed as part of the application process.

If you choose not to complete the internship, you may exit the programme with a Graduate Diploma once all coursework and assessments are successfully completed.
