This is a Masters programme for the Education and the Children’s Workforce. The programme is designed to appeal to practitioners from a range of professional fields in the wider children’s workforce, post-compulsory education and training and support roles. Study on this course is based on practitioner enquiry and so it offers opportunities to research aspects of professional practice in the workplace setting.

The course is studied part-time and is delivered here at York St John University on a number of Saturdays across the year. The course includes core and option modules and a dissertation study. The options (subject to demand) include modules on Children and Youth Worlds, Leadership and Management, Learning and Teaching,  Early Years, Education and Wellbeing in Residential Environments, Integrated Practice in Children’s Services, Student Voice and the Social Pedagogue.

The graduation for the successful PCAP participants at the National University of  Rwanda took place in March. Unfortunately, staff from YSJ were unable to attend the ceremony in Butare but one of the outstanding students, Patrick, sent the following message: ‘How I wish you had been there to witness the joy of accomplishment. We were really honoured to have been presented as among the academic staff that have excelled’. Patrick is now acting Dean of the Faculty of Medicine at the University and keen to pass on the learning to the Faculty.
