Course content

Explore key aspects of children’s and young people’s lives while developing critical analysis skills. This postgraduate certificate is particularly relevant for graduates working with children or young people who want to advance academically and professionally, as well as those with backgrounds in childhood and youth studies, youth work, youth justice, sociology, health and social care, social work, nursing, anthropology, psychology, education, and the voluntary sector, including charities and NGOs.
