Course summary

This joint Childhood and Youth Studies and Sociology degree prepares you to work with, support, protect or advocate for the rights of children, young people, and their families in a range of care and community settings.This course allows you to study Sociology as part of a joint honours degree (50% Sociology, 50% Childhood Studies and Youth). Studying these two complementary disciplines provides a comprehensive understanding of how social conditions, situations and interactions impact the lives, behaviour, beliefs, and identities of children and young people. How they affect everything from education and development to employment, mental health, and wellbeing.This degree examines childhood and youth experiences from conception to the transition to adulthood, including children’s rights, adolescence, development, identity, and diversity. You can explore the history of childhood, children’s rights, the nature of childhood, and the role of adults working with children in a national, European and international context.Studying Childhood and Youth Studies and Sociology, you will engage with the myriad of contemporary issues affecting childhood and youth, and the complexities of modern day life against the backdrop of global cultural, social, economic, educational, and political shifts. Over the course of your degree, you will develop a broad range of specialist and general transferrable skills in quantitative and qualitative analysis, data handling, project management, and working and communicating with others.We place a strong emphasis on developing your employability. Regular presentations help build your confidence in public speaking, while educational visits and guest speakers give you a head start building and engaging with professional networks. ‘Placement Year’ and 'International Experience Year’ options are available for this course. You will have the opportunity to fully consider these options when you have started your course at Bangor and can make an application for a transfer onto such a pathway at the appropriate time. You can find more information about these options on our website and if you have any questions, please get in touch.This is an English-medium course.
