Entry requirementsThere are no formal requirements but you need to demonstrate that you can work at Master's level. This can be through having a first degree or a range of academic and work experience that enables you to handle academic material at this level and use your practice in a thoughtful and reflective manner. You may be required to undertake pre-registration modules before starting or complete an agreed portfolio of learning. If you are taking the professional qualification route you must be engaged in at least 12 hours' appropriate work, paid, or unpaid, per week. Career opportunitiesGraduates follow a wide range of senior posts in youth work and community development work in both the statutory and voluntary sector. An MA is a recommended qualification for workers who want to hold senior positions in recent workforce development proposals. ProgrammeThe course consists of four core modules, two core field placement modules, and two option modules taken from a list of 20. You may then seek to exit with a PG Dip, or remain on the course to complete your dissertation for an MA. All core modules and most option modules are launched during one of two block teaching weeks held each year (usually in October and February). Attendance at launch days is compulsory. These are supported by a wide variety of written material, individual and corporate tasks. You are required to engage in a number of online seminars in each module. You should identify a supervisor who will primarily support your field practice, but may also provide a dialogue partner to discuss wider issues arising from the course. You'll complete 360 hours of field practice, 180 of which must be outside your employing agency. Teaching/assessmentThe distance learning course works to build a learning community, from the initial contact on selection day and in the induction periods onwards. Assessment is usually by written assignment of 4000 words per 15 credit module. Contributions to online seminars are also an attendance requirement.
