Overview

Drawing on the new social studies of childhood and youth, the course enables you to develop a holistic understanding of children and young people and their everyday lives.

Modules have been developed using the theory and history of Childhood Studies, the practice and research experience of staff who teach on the course and the latest research in the field. Core modules will give you a sound knowledge of concepts and approaches in the study of childhood, but you’ll also be able to choose optional modules to suit your interests and career aspirations.

Career opportunities

The Childhood Studies course at the University of Leeds has been designed to meet the needs of both international and UK students of childhood and youth, including practitioners who intend to work with children in educational, social, health or Non-Governmental Organisational settings. It will also enable you to pursue an academic career: for example, future doctoral study in education, social policy or sociology.
