In this course, you will gain the skills to work with individuals, groups and communities to address barriers that impact quality of life; promote positive relationships; and advocate for human rights and social change at the societal, individual, policy and legislative levels.

 

You’ll draw on knowledge from various disciplines – including sociology, psychology, politics, philosophy, health and economics – to learn how people engage with each other, their communities and society.

 

Throughout your studies, you’ll develop the skills and values needed to work with individuals and groups; including children, young people, adults, the elderly, and people from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds.

 

You’ll complete two supervised fieldwork placements (totalling 1,050 hours over four years), applying your learning in work environments and developing your professional identity.
