Youth Work and Social Education (BA)

Program Available at Carmarthen Campus

Youth Work and Social Education (BA) (ETS Endorsed) offers a professional qualification for students, and through a social science lens it explores current and contemporary challenges that are faced by young people, including:

  • Trauma
  • Adverse Childhood Experiences
  • Substance misuse
  • County Lines
  • Children’s Rights
  • Health and Well-being
  • The impact of relationships

The degree triangulates theory, policy, and practice in an applied manner to enable graduates to be both excellent academics and excellent practitioners.

Known often as the ‘best-kept secret’, youth work is a powerful approach to supporting young people build resilience and resourcefulness and to achieve their full potential.  Youth work is based on developing good, positive relationships with young people, and acts as the foundation for supporting young people through a range of issues.  This is why the youth work degree is often viewed by other professions as highly desirable qualifications.
