Course summary

This is a pathway of the MA Applied Anthropology & Community & Youth Work, aimed at applicants who may not need a National Youth Agency qualification in youth work (JNC) and those who want to become specialists in community development or community arts.This unique MA combines academic and practice-based learning with high-level professional qualifications. It is aimed at students who wish to pursue a career in community development or community arts and associated sectors, and those who want an MA with additional professional qualifications to enable more senior career progression.Taught jointly by the Departments of Anthropology, and Social, Therapeutic and Community Studies (STaCS), this fieldwork pathway reflects the common concerns of both disciplines with a particular focus on community development and community arts.Established in 1992, the youth work pathway was the first of three fieldwork pathway options. An additional pathway in Community Development launched in 2012 and a Community Arts pathway launched in 2015. Community Development and Community Arts are merged at the point of pathway entry but allow for fieldwork specialism in each distinct area.The Community Development/Community Arts pathway caters for students who want to specialise in community development, or those with an arts background and arts interests who wish to work in community arts.You'll join a diverse cohort of students with a variety of practice experiences and interests. Whether you wish to specialise in community development or community arts, you will be taught alongside fellow students with interests in both disciplines, providing opportunities for the exchange of ideas and as well as interaction with an extensive range of organisations and practitioners.You will undertake fieldwork, which is focused on national occupational standards in community development and may take place in either community development settings or community arts settings depending on your specialism.The programme is structured to give you autonomy over the accredited placement organisations that you work with. You will be able to arrange placements with organisations that best facilitate the form of practice that you wish to explore.
