Postgraduate Diploma in Childhood and Youth Studies

Course code: E93

Deepen your understanding and practice of children’s and young people’s lives while developing critical analysis skills. This diploma is particularly relevant for graduates working with children or young people who wish to advance their academic and professional careers. It's also suited to those with backgrounds in childhood and youth studies, youth work, sociology, health and social care, social work, nursing, anthropology, psychology, education, and the voluntary sector, including charities and NGOs. While this diploma doesn't provide professional recognition, it may enable those not currently working with children or young people to enter the field or transition between roles with confidence.
