This long-established Master degree offers holders of a Bachelor of Arts (Hons.) degree in youth and community studies (or a Bachelor of Arts in Youth and Community Studies if obtained prior to 2004) further specialisation in the area. It is also intended to equip Bachelor (Hons.) degree holders in social work, social policy, sociology, social science, criminology, anthropology, psychology or in any other related area  with the requisite academic and professional skill set for youth work and youth policy practice. It is important to emphasise that this degree presents holders with the possibility of a route into  the youth work profession as established by the Youth Work Profession Act of the Laws of Malta (2014).  Comprising three years of part-time study, this engaging degree entails taught, fieldwork and research-based components.  During their final year of study students are expected to successfully complete a dissertation on a related research topic.  Applicants who do not hold a youth and community studies Bachelor degree must also possess a minimum of 2 years' experience working in a youth or community setting.
