This Community and Youth Work Studies BA (Hons) course offered at University of Sunderland can be studied Full-time.
For more detailed information about Community and Youth Work Studies at University of Sunderland, please visit the institution website.
Our typical offer is 96 UCAS points from a minimum of two A Levels or equivalent (e.g: 1 x AVCE double award).
We also require three passes at GCSE grade C or above, which must include Mathematics and English Language, or a minimum of Level 2 Key Skills in Communication and Application of Number. If you have studied for a GCSE which has a numerical grade then you will need to achieve a grade 4 or above.
To apply for this degree you must have experience (voluntary or paid) in a community and/or youth work setting. This could include volunteering during weekends, evenings, or holidays. You should clearly describe this experience in the personal statement section of your application. As a guide, most successful applicants will have experience lasting at least a year, though in some cases we do accept students with a shorter, more intensive experience.
We interview all applicants, and you should be ready to talk about your voluntary or paid experience in a community and/or youth work setting in the interview.
If you don't currently hold a level 3 qualification you may still be eligible for this course – around half of our students are mature students with alternative qualifications or experience. In the interview we'll ask you about your experience, to see if it is equivalent to the required academic qualifications.
Please note that you must also have a satisfactory Enhanced Disclosure Barring Service check in order to go on placements.
