What do you think are the most important social and global issues? Where do you see injustice or inequality? What can our leaders do about them? What can you do about these issues?
The dynamics of social and public policies are highly complex and often have unforeseen consequences. This course gives you the tools to explore, analyse and critically evaluate policy issues in and across societies in a range of geographical and cultural contexts. International social and public policy draws on several disciplines, including economics, political science, sociology, development studies, behavioural science and philosophy, asking you to compare key ideas and theoretical frameworks.
This interdisciplinary, international degree integrates rigorous analysis of government policy with a deep understanding of broader global political, economic, and social transformations. At its core, the BSc International Social and Public Policy is designed to explore, analyse, and critically evaluate contemporary social and public policy issues within and across societies.
