MA Working for Children and Young People (Initial Qualifying)
About the qualification

Why do this course?

I wanted to put my Volunteer Work with Young People into practice academically, leading on to a new career as a qualified Youth Worker. Part of the reason I chose the course at the University of South Wales is that there is a high proportion of French speaking immigrants and refugees in the area, this meant that I am able to link my Undergraduate degree from Sheffield with my passion for working with Young People and in the local community.
