Description

The major in Youth Studies offers students the opportunity to investigate the contemporary youth experience in terms of its diversity, the influences that shape it and the challenges that confront it.

Students will not only develop their understanding of these dynamics but they will also develop key competencies that enable them to responsibly and compassionately engage with young people in a variety of settings including statutory, community‐based and local church contexts. Students will be encouraged to develop their own reflective practice that authentically acknowledges their own faith perspective within an approach that is relationally engaged, contextually aware and responsive to the physical, emotional, social and spiritual strengths and vulnerabilities of young people.
