The degree is called ‘social policy’ (for an administrative reason) but the content is entirely on community development. It involves five theory modules on community development (including models of and approaches to community development, ethics, and project management), three modules on research (with a focus on community-based action research), and a whole year module of internship (requiring you to work in a supervised, approved placement for three days a week).
