York St John University Speciality : Social Policy
programme: Children, Young People and Families

Some content I’ve taken so you can see variety: Constructions of Childhood and Youth, Child Development, Studying for Success, Social Policy, Counselling, Nature and Role of the Family, Learning in Practice, Risk Trust and Safeguarding, Mental Health, Transitions, Researching Children Young People and Families, Virtual Realities, Global Perspectives, Crime Deviance and Youth Justice, Gender and Sexualisation, State Intervention and Family Life.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the content across all modules, but there have been many struggles with finding staff to teach. Whilst Covid does play a part in this, it is also the university’s responsibility.

There is a lot of support available for a range of issues: wellbeing, essay writing, resource finding, IT development.

The Students Union also has a range of opportunities: able to run for students reps, president of SU/Wellbeing/Education, Pound a Pint Saturday Nights, Karaoke, Sports Events, Charity Events, Pub Quiz, Societies, Course Socials etc.
