| What it is | You study the social systems, policies, and psychology behind why people struggle — poverty, mental health, family breakdown — and learn to help them through direct support work and advocacy. This program awards both a university degree and a Social Service Worker diploma, so you graduate certified for entry-level positions in shelters, community agencies, and schools right away. It suits people drawn to hands-on helping work who want practical credentials alongside academic learning. | You study how people and societies should organize themselves, and what makes choices right or wrong. Ethics and political philosophy blend thinking about moral principles with questions about power, justice, law, and governance. This program suits students who want to understand the foundations of politics and ethics through careful argument and debate rather than through policy work or management training. | You study philosophy, politics, and current social issues together rather than in separate programs. This interdisciplinary approach lets you examine ethical problems — like inequality, justice, and policy — from multiple angles at once. It suits people who want to think deeply about society's problems and aren't sure whether philosophy, political science, or social studies fits them best. |

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
