| What it is | You study how to help people and communities solve social problems — poverty, family conflict, mental health, abuse — through practical counselling, advocacy, and resource connection. This degree trains you specifically for the profession of social work, meaning you learn both theory and hands-on skills, with placement experience in real agencies. It suits people who want to work directly with vulnerable people and aren't looking for a research-focused or policy-only path. | This program combines psychology, sociology, and social work to help you understand how children and young people develop, and how social systems affect their lives. Unlike a straight psychology degree, it weaves in practical social work perspectives and community contexts from the start. It suits people drawn to working with youth in schools, children's services, counselling, or community support roles. |
