Bachelor of Social Science

About this programme

In the Bachelor of Social Science, you will gain the skills for diverse careers that address pressing social issues such as poverty and inequality, racial injustice, health and illness, and the social impacts of climate change at local, national and international levels. You will learn to think critically and beyond borders, drawing from sociology and policy studies through to geography, critical Indigenous studies, political science, international relations and anthropology. You will gain a strong grounding in social justice, social research, and establish new links with community and industry, as well as create a strong foundation in the practice-based skills, values and knowledge needed to address key social problems. Practical and transferrable workforce skills include public policy evaluation, social impact assessment, public advocacy, community organising, community planning and social research. The Bachelor of Social Science will teach you not only the many layers of the social world, but the sought-after skills you need to change it.
