# Professional Studies at BGU continues to grow
07/09/2017
The Professional Studies Foundation Degree portfolio at BGU in Lincoln has grown with the introduction of a new study option.
A newly validated pathway for 2017 called **[Professional Studies in Children and Youth Work with JNC](http://www.bishopg.ac.uk/study/courses/fdaprofstudcy/)** complements the existing Childhood and Youth pathway.
Students on this pathway can work towards professional accreditation for working with children, young people, families and their communities. Students need to successfully complete the Foundation Degree and Progression Route in Children and Youth Work alongside a portfolio of work-based evidence to achieve the Joint Negotiating Committee (JNC) professional status.
Support is provided through a Fieldwork Supervisor and JNC qualified lecturers.
The National Youth Agency (NYA) has recognised our Professional Studies in Children & Youth Work Degree for JNC accreditation.

We've been here in the historic heart of Lincoln for over 160 years, a beautifully green and pleasant campus just a few minutes walk from Lincoln Cathedral, Castle and the old Roman city. At Bishop Grosseteste University, we place people at the heart of what we do, delivering transformative education, professional experiences and partnerships that build the knowledge, ability and confidence needed to make a meaningful difference.
