BA / BA (Hons) Youth Work with Applied Theology

To meet the demands of the modern Christian youth worker, ICC is working with churches throughout Scotland offers a university validated and professionally accredited degree programme.  The programme is carefully tailored to deliver a blend of specialist knowledge and skills training, along with extensive opportunities for putting them into practice.

As with the BA Theology, students who complete one year of the programme will receive a CertHE, and those who complete two receive a DipHE.

• The programme is made up of a combination of courses drawn from the BA Theology programme and courses focussing specifically on aspects of youth work.
• Practical experience is foundational to the programme. As well as classroom study, every student undertakes twenty hours a week of supervised placements in a wide selection of ministry areas, including church-based work, schools work and residential activities.
• Supplementary placements enable students to gain experience of different types of youth work. These have included children’s homes, excluded pupil projects and drug rehabilitation centres.
• The teaching staff are all active, experienced youth workers who are specialists in their field.
• There are regular opportunities for students to share their experiences and learn from one another in order to reinforce the integration of personal, theological and experiential learning.
• All students are assigned a personal tutor, who will coach and guide the student in all aspects of their development. The tutor will also meet regularly with the student’s Line Manager.
• Accommodation and living expenses are normally provided in most placements.
• The programme can also be taken in part-time mode, making it accessible for youth workers already in employment and experienced volunteers.
• The programme is validated by the University of Aberdeen, meaning that the qualification is recognised internationally.
• It is professionally accredited by CeVe, which means that it is recognised as a professional qualification in community education and development.
