General information
The Bachelor of Social Science provides students with skills
and abilities pertinent to a variety of professional careers in
the public and private sectors of employment. Students are
encouraged to develop a theoretical understanding of their
chosen disciplines to enable them to understand not only
current developments in society and the workplace, but to
adapt and respond appropriately to future developments as
they occur. In addition, the course is designed to enhance a
number of generic skills highly valued by employers and
important for the development of the individual such as selfawareness,
presentation and communication skills and skills
for the maintenance of learning and knowledge.
This course offers a combination of breadth and
specialisation: breadth as a foundation for lifelong learning
and specialisation as a preparation for future professional
and vocational pursuits. In the implementation of these
principles attention will be given to the process of learning
and thinking involved as well as the content. A student's
choice of subject combinations will be expanded by allowing
significant selections across other degree streams.
The Bachelor of Social Science is planned to enable students to:
develop learning skills in an interdisciplinary
environment;
communicate effectively in writing, orally and
electronically;
experience breadth of disciplinary studies and
intellectual processes;
specialise in the field of their chosen profession;
study combinations of subjects leading to professional
accreditation;
use technology in a way that supports learning and
vocational aspirations;
develop a regional and international outlook in relation
to learning;
understand the cross-cultural issues of interdisciplinary
study and teams;
