Bachelor in Social Studies in Housing and Community Studies
The principal aim of the BSS is to provide students with an understanding of the issues of: community development, housing, management & social policy. It employs a multidisciplinary approach to the analysis of these issues, based on participative learning, which promotes both academic and professional/personal skills development.
Students will examine the complexities of social life and see how individuals and groups live and work together. Participants will explore the particular requirements of marginalised members of society and how best to respond to their needs. Year 1 of the degree introduces students to the foundations of social policy, management theories, community development and housing studies. These four themes are further developed through the diploma and degree.
