Bachelor of Social Science

Explore how to address pressing social issues - such as poverty and inequality, Indigenous peoples and injustice, health and illness, and the social impacts of climate change - at local, national and international levels.

You'll gain a strong grounding in social justice, policy research and links to community and industry, and create a strong foundation in the practice-based skills, values and knowledge needed to address key social problems. Practical workforce skills include public policy design and evaluation, social impact assessment, public advocacy, social planning and research.

Third-year students gain valuable experience in social research by undertaking a supervised project linked with a community or industry partner.

You'll specialise in a particular area of interest and graduate equipped with relevant and marketable skills, including policy making and advocacy, public communication, cross-cultural awareness, report writing, project management and social research.
