This program offers a mix of academic learning and practical experience focused on social and public policy, ethics, and justice. Over the course, you'll explore how policies impact society and examine ideas around fairness, equality, and morality. Students gain a solid understanding of social issues, policy development, and ethical considerations, preparing them for careers in government, non-profits, or advocacy work. The inclusion of a year in industry means you'll have the chance to apply your ideas in real-world settings, gaining valuable skills and professional connections.

The year in industry is designed to give students hands-on experience, often through placements or work-related projects. This placement not only helps develop practical skills but also enhances your understanding of how social policies work in real life. Throughout the course, you'll engage in discussions, research, and projects that challenge you to think critically about justice and ethics in society. With support and guidance from experienced staff, you'll be encouraged to reflect on your values and develop a clear view of the role policy plays in shaping fair and equitable communities.
