Course Structure

How is Year Two structured?

Year Two operates as a menu of options, you choose the ones which are most relevant to what you are doing.  A total of ten papers are required to complete Year Two.

THREE papers are required for all Year TWO students:

• Mission Theology
• Reflective Practitioner

PLUS either

• Emerging practice in youth work (if youth work is your main focus)

Or

• Community development practice (if your work is focused on the wider community)

You choose SEVEN more papers

Full time students who are approved for direct entry into Year TWO may be asked to complete

• Some or all of the Safe Practice papers from the Year ONE programme (unless you have completed the work elsewhere).
• A portfolio showing the development of your project.

Each Year TWO paper has three parts:

Input

A 2-4 day workshop featuring teaching and dialogue with a key resource person. Each group of workshops is normally offered in one of the main centres , and are grouped together so you can choose to do up to three workshops in one trip.

Integration 

A weekly group meeting for 6-8 weeks in your own area with a tutor to process learning from the workshop, and discuss further in depth resource material.

Application

Assignment work based around getting you to apply what you have learnt and reflect on your practice. This will also include meetings with a supervisor.
