Cardiff Met Part Time Professional Qualifications (Degree and Post Graduate) in Youth and Community Work

There are still opportunities to study part-time on both the BA (Hons) Youth & Community Work and the Post Graduate Diploma in Youth & Community Work .  Both these courses are professionally endorsed by Wales ETS for youth work. We are also currently seeking professional endorsement for Community Development work with Community Development Cymru and hope to be able to offer this professional route from September 2016.


  • Attendance is one day a week for the BA and one evening a week for the PG Dip.
  • Many employers will support the day (or evening) release of employees to study on professionally endorsed courses such as these.
  •  A 50% fee reduction can be obtained for practitioners undertaking the PG Diploma in Youth and Community Work for the coming academic year.

Please note:  We understand that there are now grants and loans available from the Welsh Government to cover part-time undergraduate study (BA route) – please see http://www.studentfinancewales.co.uk/part-time-students.aspx#.VASYxGdMvIU

There are also a limited number of places available on the full-time BA (Hons) Youth and Community Work programme and the part-time MA Managing Community Practice course.


You can obtain additional information on all of the courses at:



You can apply on line at  http://www.cardiffmet.ac.uk/selfservice

If possible can you pass on this information to colleagues who may be interested in gaining a professional qualification.

If you require any additional information at this stage please give Gill or Rick a ring on 029 20417247 and 029 20416504 or email gprice@cardiffmet.ac.uk andrnewnham@cardiffmet.ac.uk respectively.
