Do Community Development and Youth Work courses have any industry involvement?

The Community Development and Youth Work courses are involved with Community Development and Youth Work agencies and companies to maintain and adapt the appropriate learning content and ensure the relevance of your skills. This network supports your fieldwork placements and also your employment opportunities once you graduate.

Guest speakers from the Community Development and Youth Work sector are regularly involved in activities, and tutors are happy to recommend other professional activities that will be beneficial to your professional development. Our students often get together for social and industry events, conferences, activities, and generally to study, or relax.

If you have any other enquiries relating to this you can contact the Community Development and Youth Work Team to discuss, their contact details can be found at the bottom of the specific course page by searching the Community Development and Youth Work subject area.

You can also chat with our staff directly every Wednesday from 2 pm - 4 pm and periodically throughout the working week.

Alternatively, chat with our current students who will be able to share this information with you and any other course-related queries.

Or book onto one of our Open Days or Course Advice Days to find out more and speak with the team.

At the University of Bolton, we understand our students have different requirements and we pride ourselves on the positive and supportive learning environment we provide. Being voted No. 1 for Student Satisfaction for the past three years (Complete University Guide, North West) is a testament to our approach.

We are proud of our work on-campus to ensure our students can enjoy #UniAsItShouldBe, COVID-secure.
