BSc (Hons) Social Policy

Our programme is about social change. We explore the drivers and brakes of social change, the relationship between history and progress and the ideals which different governments bring to the policy making process. We consider how gender, race, ethnicity, age and class influence people’s everyday experience of social policy as it is lived in diverse communities across Britain.

You will explore the factors which influence the development of social policy and the provision of welfare. The programme is wide-ranging and research-informed – considering poverty, housing, health, disability, community care, family policy and ageing. You will be supported at each turn by committed educators and research-active staff.
