BA (Hons) Education Studies (Youth and Community Work)

Empower young people to find their voice and thrive with our Youth and Community Work degree. This professionally qualifying programme equips you with the nationally recognised Youth Work (JNC) qualification, preparing you to make a lasting impact in the lives of young people and communities. You’ll explore key topics such as models, theories, and interventions in youth and community work, applied professional ethics, and youth and community justice, alongside the National Occupational Standards (NOS) for Youth Work. Through a blend of theory and practice, you’ll develop the skills to foster social inclusion, challenge inequalities, and support young people in shaping their futures and place in society. With three professional placements in diverse settings - locally or abroad - you’ll gain invaluable real-world experience in statutory and voluntary projects, alternative education, youth justice, and more. Expert tutors will support you in identifying placements that contribute to your professional development, while qualified practitioners will mentor you throughout your journey. Students are also typically on campus just two days per week, allowing flexibility for work, and independent study. At Hull, you’ll benefit from passionate teaching, innovative approaches, and extensive partnership networks that enhance your learning and career opportunities. From day one, you’ll connect theory to practice, building a strong foundation for a meaningful and rewarding career in youth and community work. If you want to make a change in the world by facilitating young people to engage in activities and experiences that develop their voice, influence, and place in society, then youth and community work is for you.
