The three-year undergraduate course, which is professionally recognised by the Joint Negotiating Committee and validated by the National Youth Agency, includes modules around education and youth work, diversity, professional development and management. 

In a statement to CYP Now, a spokesman for the university, based in Leicester, said: “Due to the unavoidable financial impact of the pandemic, like almost every university, DMU has had to make rapid and widespread changes to adapt. 

“Therefore, due to significantly lower recruitment rates over the last few years, alongside wider university measures to make savings and increase income, the difficult decision was made to suspend intake for the youth and community development course for September 2022.”
