BA (Hons) Social Pedagogy

Homepage

The BA (Hons) in Social Pedagogy is offered in a partnership between the University of Aberdeen, the Camphill School in Aberdeen (CSA) and participating communities and organisations.

Social pedagogy is a holistic professional activity integrating elements of care, education, therapeutic and creative activities in the work with children and adults with complex needs, acknowledging the importance of relationship and social interaction in promoting healthy development and life.

The programme incorporates and critically reflects on a range of theoretical approaches including those based on the work of Rudolf Steiner. Most students are volunteer co-workers in Camphill Communities, while others are employed by the communities or other organisations. The design of the programme enables students to be active in the work in their community/workplace whilst undertaking their studies. This provides a rich and varied learning environment.
