Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Childhood and Youth and Law (CY05)

Childhood & Youth is an exciting, multidisciplinary subject in which students will explore a range of issues and challenges faced by children and young people in contemporary society, both here in the UK and on a global level. Drawing on key ideas from sociology, politics, history, social policy and cultural studies, the degree examines important questions about children and young people and the social contexts in which they live.

With its strong emphasis on social justice and welfare, the degree will enable students to develop as critical social scientists who value their role within the academic community at Hope and who, as graduates, will be able to use their skills and knowledge to the benefit of their local community and society more broadly.

Students will study Law with Liverpool Hope University and they will gain an understanding of the fundamental principles, theories and key ideas that underpin the law in England and Wales. They also learn about the way Public Law provides the legal framework within which government and administration functions, the structure of Law and Government under which people live, and the values of democracy, rule of law and constitutionalism that underpin that structure.
