Course summary

Young people’s development has as much to do with how they think as it does their circumstances and environment.

On this Childhood and Youth Studies with Psychology degree, you’ll learn what makes young people tick as you develop knowledge of the biological and social factors that impact their complex journey into adulthood.

You'll also have the chance to focus your childhood and youth studies on a particular specialism - education and teaching, community and alternative provision, or leadership and enterprise.

You’ll gain the expert skills and knowledge needed for a rewarding career working with and supporting children and young people aged 8–25. You could go onto work in sectors such as youth work, mental health support, teaching, fundraising.
