What will I learn?
The MA Youth and Community Work (JNC) programme provides a unique opportunity to obtain a JNC professional youth work qualification, allowing students to register with the Education Workforce Council in Wales and practice as a youth worker throughout the UK and further afield. This programme is ideal for practitioners who would like to gain the JNC professional qualification, but may already hold a bachelor’s degree in another subject. The programme covers core topics, principles and values required to be a professional youth worker, whilst also allowing you to tailor your learning to your specialist area of practice. The youth and community department at Wrexham University is regarded as the ''home of youth work in Wales'', having offered education and training to the youth and community sector since 1977. As such, the department has excellent links with employers across North Wales, North West England and the Midlands, and it works in partnership with organisations across the statutory, voluntary and third sector. Delivered through a Hy-Flex learning approach, students will start each semester with an introductory residential weekend at our Wrexham Campus, then continue to learn online with support from dedicated tutors. This flexible approach is ideal for anyone who is looking to study around their home and work commitments.
