Applied Youth Work

Two great reasons to consider this course

• NSETS Endorsed — All modules are designed with close consultation with the Youth Work sector to ensure relevance.
• Students will gain practical industry experience through two work placements.

This 4-year level 8 BA (Hons) in Applied Youth Work at DkIT aims to facilitate, and shape, the learning of youth workers to help them to become reflective and critical practitioners. Students will be introduced to key concepts, practices, and policies in the field, bringing them from fledgling to competent practitioners.

Students on the programme will learn as part of a vibrant classroom environment, using learning and teaching methods that include lectures, tutorials, workshops, group discussions, presentations and both individual and group projects. Reflecting youth work practice, active participation forms part of the teaching and learning strategies that students are expected to engage in. All students will also have the opportunity to undertake two work placements, as part of their studies.

Youth Work is a rewarding profession, where practitioners work closely with young people between 10 – 25 years, in youth work settings.
