Licenciatura en Teología (Juventud y Comunidad)

This fantastic placement-based pathway can be studied full-time or part-time. It will equip you for working in youth and community settings, recognizing that it is important for Christians involved in youth ministry and community work in the UK and abroad to be:

Theologically astute.  Exploring our understanding of who God is – God's priorities, values, and purposes – to guide us in the work we do.

Contextually aware.  Understanding how the world is changing and how people's thinking is shaped by the world they inhabit.

Competent in practice.  Acquiring the particular skills required in working with people, including listening, group work, and evaluation.

This degree-level vocational and professional pathway will build on students' prior experiences and equip Christian youth and community workers for a range of ministries. Carefully tailored to deliver a blend of specialist knowledge and skills training and extensive opportunities for putting them into practice, students will reflect upon the relationship between theology and youth and community work practice.

Strong focus on practice development, placements, and employability.

Useful for those who want to serve in churches or Christian organizations or understand how the Christian faith relates to youth and community work.

Small group work, study skills support, and individual tutorials.

Teaching staff actively engaged in youth and community practice, research, and development nationally and internationally.

A positive commitment to equality and the development of good practice in diverse contexts.

A range of electives from all disciplines to choose from after the first year.

Exit routes at Certificate and Diploma level are possible (although they do not carry CLD/JNC professional validation).
