Youth and Community Work MA
University of East LondonStratford Campus, London
Course overview
This established course opens the door for you to step straight into youth work. Only one other provider in London offers a postgraduate JNC qualification as part of a master's course. With 400 mandatory hours of practice learning to add to UEL-based learning, it is a demanding, but rewarding, commitment.
You will develop the ability to build confidence and trust in others, to deal with challenging behaviour and to engage, support and mentor young people in London - a dynamic environment for youth and community work. Our former students often supervise our current students in a professional capacity and you will be taught by experienced people who share your passion. The UEL tutors are locally based.
They have strong links with and are active within the sector. Tracie Trimmer-Platman teaches modules ED7700 and ED7702. Paul Adams teaches modules ED7701, ED7703 and ED7704.
