Bachelor of Social Sciences

This program mixes core learning in a broad range of relevant areas with practical research investigation.
Students are introduced to methods and tools to design and conduct social research and develop approaches to analyse findings and advocate change.
In the final year, students can apply for a merit based internship that gives direct access to possible future employers with a social justice focus and the opportunity to work on a research project together.
Or, students may choose to strengthen their knowledge in social sciences methodologies to build more expertise in this area.
