Course summary

A BA in Social and Public Policy (Ethics and Justice) will enable you to understand and improve societal responses to social problems and disadvantage, 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. By combining your degree with a minor in Ethics and Justice, you will also explore related foundational issues in ethics and political philosophy. As independent, critical thinkers, you will graduate equipped to tackle complex problems and produce creative solutions, apply sophisticated theoretical knowledge of society, policy, and philosophy, and promote collaborative approaches in their working lives. This degree 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.
