Politics is a part of human existence, and social interactions invariably involve political relationships. Politics is essential for a just and humane way of life. The study of politics helps us understand the dynamics of power and how this directly and indirectly effects the state. This program will help you understand politics within state borders. It will develop key analytical skills that will help you explain political events and how politics affects society. Political studies take into account a variety of non-political or related influences that affect politics. This program provides a description of political facts, an explanation of how and why politics occurs, and a prescription of what should happen in the political world.

This degree is focused on the theory and practice of community development. 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). This degree articulates closely with the BA in Community Development and Leadership, and together they will lead towards registration as a community development practitioner when community development is professionalized with the SA Council for Social Service Practitioners.
