Certificate
The Certificate in Youth and Community Leadership (CertYCL) builds on UC's expertise and reputation for humanitarian work and social activism.
Students will develop introductory leadership skills and explore global issues they are passionate about resolving, with the opportunity to carry out group projects in the local community.
This programme is an especially good option for working professionals and those already in leadership positions, or students who do not want to commit to the full bachelor's degree.
Admission to UC with University Entrance (or equivalent) is required to enrol.
If English is your additional language, you are also required to meet UC's English language requirements.
For information on the enrolment process, please see how to apply for undergraduate qualifications.
Recommended preparationThe programme is open to students from a range of interests or experience in leadership roles. No particular background study is required. A passion for social change, community work, and volunteering is the best preparation.
Strong written and verbal communication skills will be especially useful.
Study in this area gives students formal training in leadership and engaging different groups. Possible career paths could include humanitarian and community work, government positions, teaching, and business.
Graduates can continue onto advanced studies in areas such as education, organisational management and psychology, politics, sociology, and strategic communications.
