2-Term Pathway - Foundation Certificate for Business, Law and Social Sciences - Continue to Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Social Policy and Law (Honours Select 50:50)

If students are thinking of a career in the social services or public administration, combining Social Policy with another subject allows them to build the ideal degree. The Social Policy route will explore the ways in which governments seek to provide services and to change conditions in fields such as health, education and welfare support. Students will study current political issues relevant to social policy today, aspects of social change and social divisions that underpin the context of social policy intervention and examine the nature of contemporary welfare services and the dynamics of social inclusion and exclusion.

Studying law as 50% of the degree gives students a thorough understanding of the discipline of law and the role of law in regulating society; however law as a Joint (50%) option does not lead to a qualifying law degree. Law is an interesting and important subject for study, involving consideration of notions of justice, our relationships with one another and with the state, and the processes for effecting change in society.
