What it is	This one-year certificate explores philosophical and political thinking about current social problems — inequality, justice, rights, and policy. Unlike a full degree, it's designed as a focused, shorter program you can complete part-time while working or studying elsewhere. It suits people who want to examine real-world issues through ethics and policy without committing to a longer university program.	This program combines the study of how societies work — through anthropology, politics, and social policy — with practical skills in starting and running social enterprises that solve community problems. Unlike a straight business degree, it focuses specifically on ventures designed for social impact rather than profit alone. It suits people who want to understand social change deeply and turn ideas into real projects that help communities.
