Course Description
This is a Welsh medium course. For the English medium course, see Childhood and Youth Studies and Sociology, X315.
These subjects enable you to study issues that affect children's lives in the wider context of social structures. You will study a wide variety of topics relevant to childhood and youth in the 21st century and investigate social life and the way it influences our behaviour, beliefs and identity. You will deal with the daily connections of everyday life, large social organisations, social movements and global processes to gain a better understanding of the impact of the social world on children and young people.
Childhood and Youth Studies and Sociology fit together naturally. They support a combined approach to understanding the development of children and young people from a social perspective, encouraging an understanding of these elements in the areas that most affect the lives of children and young people, such as their education, their interactions with peers and adults and their welfare. This course enables you to study Sociology as part of an honors degree (50% Sociology, 50% Childhood and Youth Studies).
Sociology is research into social life and the way it shapes people's behaviour, beliefs and identity. The field includes examining people's daily dealings with each other, face to face, large social institutions, social movements and global processes. By understanding the social world, we gain a better understanding of ourselves and our own social situations. In the Childhood and Youth part of the course, you will study innovative subjects, led by experienced education staff, to develop your understanding of the history of childhood, children's rights, the nature of childhood and the role of adults who work with children in a national context, European and international. You will undertake academic study work in the fields of psychology, sociology, social policy, education, health and welfare relating to children's lives.
'International Experience Year' and 'Year on Placement' options are available for this course. You will have the opportunity to consider these options fully after starting your course in Bangor and you can apply to transfer to one of these options at the appropriate time. There is more information about these options on our website, and please feel free to contact us if you have any queries.
