| What it is | 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. | You study human behaviour, relationships, and social systems from childhood through adulthood, drawing on sociology, psychology, and policy analysis. This program is broader than social work alone because it covers family dynamics, community development, and social change rather than focusing only on professional counselling or casework. It suits people interested in understanding how families and societies work and who want careers in social services, policy, research, or international development. |
