This BA (Hons) Childhood and Youth Studies is designed for students who want to work with and support children and young people, or are interested in learning about issues that affect them.
It examines the full spectrum of childhood and youth experiences from conception to the transition to adulthood. This includes adolescence, children’s rights, development, learning, play, identity, safeguarding, mental health and diversity.
At Bangor University, our teaching team has expertise and backgrounds in psychology, sociology, children’s rights, linguistics, education, forensics, health and welfare. Their insight and experiences prepare you to listen to what children and young people have to say. You will be encouraged to adopt an approach that firmly places these individuals at its centre.
We place a strong emphasis on developing your employability. Regular formal, and informal, peer-led oral presentations help build your confidence in public speaking, while educational visits and guest speakers give you a head start building and engaging with professional networks. Previous visits have ranged from a prison to a special educational needs school. Past guest lectures have included a children’s TV producer who shared how techniques are used in both current affairs and drama-based programming to raise and address key issues that affect children and young people.
You will be able to learn both theoretical and practical skills in supporting children and young people, including supporting children with additional learning needs and communication difficulties by accessing opportunities to learn communication support techniques.
