The Master of Social Policy offers a curriculum that reflects cutting edge theory in a number of professional development fields. Graduates will be equipped with the skills necessary for advanced community sector management and policy making, including the skills to:
- analyse key areas of contemporary social policy: governance, inclusion\exclusion, social capital, globalisation etc;
- engage with the social dimensions of social policy: race, gender, ethnicity, sexuality, disability, age etc;
- understand social policy as a contested process and apply research skills to a range of organisational contexts; and
- draw on a range of disciplines and take a comparative and global focus.
