BA Social Policy
If you are interested in how societies understand welfare…
- And want to explore the political forces that shape attitudes to need
- Or investigate how other societies work
- And want a course that provides an excellent starting point for a career in social research or social policy, maybe within higher education, journalism, a charity or a think tank
- Or want a foundation for further postgraduate study, or a career in local or central government
… then Social Policy at Leeds is the programme for you.
Social Policy explores how governments deliver welfare to citizens, and examines how modern societies understand poverty, human need and equality.
When you choose to study Social Policy, you will immerse yourself in fundamental social policy concerns, and investigate specific social policies of governments and other agencies, assessing how such policies impact on people's day-to-day lives.
And, at Leeds, you have the ability to focus on your own social policy interests through our extensive selection of optional modules in Year One, Two and Three.
Our department offers you the opportunity to study social citizenship, inequality, disability, demographic change, pensions, housing and community, alongside the impact of 'globalisation' on welfare states, crime prevention and management, the family and social policy in different societies.
