Overview
The Foundation degree in Criminal Justice (Youth Justice) is tailored for those who have a particular interest in working with young people and are seeking to develop a career within the youth justice system.
Why do young people break the law? Is anti-social behaviour the result of a dysfunctional family environment or are there wider social causes? These and many more questions are the focus of our Foundation degree in Youth Justice.
Achievement of the foundation degree award will also be very attractive to other potential employers in the Criminal Justice System, such as Youth Offending Teams, the Prison Service, Police and voluntary sector organisations.
On successful completion of your degree course, you will receive a degree validated by the University of Essex and be invited to attend a graduation ceremony at the University of Essex, Colchester Campus.
