London Metropolitan University's Community Development and Leadership BSc course combines the disciplines of social policy and sociology to provide a comprehensive view into issues that affect communities and look at how they can be prevented. It’s linked to degrees in social work and youth studies to offer a wide range of learning experiences and job opportunities.
This course is perfect preparation if students are interested in working with diverse communities, including Black, Asian and ethnic minority groups, LGBT+, transnational communities, as well as vulnerable groups, such as homeless people, people with disabilities, refugees and asylum seekers. Lectures will concentrate on the most pressing issues in these communities. They will investigate principles of community work and equip students with the skills and competencies they need to practice in the community. Students will focus on the prevention of social problems in-line with the government’s current community integration strategy, examining the opportunities and challenges associated with regenerating communities.
