The BA Early Years Education and Care is designed for those who want to work with, children, families, or in related fields. A strength of the course is its focus on learning from practice and Ken Dicks, a lecturer on the programme, shares how the teaching team’s links help to inform their teaching as well as support projects in the community.

What kind of future do we want for young people in Wales, and how do we help them get there? In this piece, Dr Darrel Williams, Senior Lecturer of The ÃÜÌÒ´«Ã½â€™s (UWTSD) Youth and Community Work programmes, brings a thoughtful and passionate perspective shaped by years of working alongside young people. It’s a reminder that youth work isn’t just about programmes or policies—it’s about belief in potential, creating space for growth, and equipping the next generation with the tools they need to face whatever comes next.
