A BA in Social and Public Policy will enable you to understand the causes of social problems and how societies attempt to solve them, both nationally and internationally.Social progress depends on effectively designed social and public policies that aim to distribute resources to maximise human welfare and minimise social disadvantage. The study of Social and Public Policy addresses the best ways to achieve these outcomes, drawing on concepts and theories from all social science disciplines. As independent, critical thinkers, you will graduate equipped to tackle complex problems and produce creative solutions, applying sophisticated theoretical knowledge of the social and policy worlds and promoting collaborative approaches in their working lives. Our programme is outward-looking and incorporates strong links with the non-academic policy community, opportunities to engage with leading policy organisations and an international perspective to studying social issues. You will have a versatility of knowledge and skills that will enable them to pursue a wide range of careers in the public, private and voluntary sectors.
