A Childhood, Youth and Education Studies degree can open the door to a range of rewarding areas of practice working with children and young people.

• You will have the opportunity to explore important areas of educational practice, formal and informal, through both in-class learning and practical work experience2.
• Get the opportunity to take part in a range of exciting international and UK based educational experiences.

The practical nature of the course means, upon successful graduation, you should have substantial placement experience, practical knowledge and problem-solving skills which will support a move into a range of different child-related professions or to study towards further professional qualifications, such as the PGCE if you would like to enter teaching, or an MA in Social Work if a career as a social worker appeals. There are also opportunities to branch out into other postgraduate courses such as the Psychology MSc for those interested in pursuing Educational Psychology. Past students who have successfully completed this course have had the opportunity to enter directly into a range of exciting roles in a range of settings.
