Program aims
Social scientists study people, groups of people and interactions between people. The Bachelor of Social Science program is intended for those who want to work with people - in the public sector, non-governmental organisations, etc - to deliver community welfare and social justice. This requires a blend of critical appraisal and consultative skills in tasks including community consultation and policy analysis, skills which are useful in a changing labour market and which help students to make more sense of their lives.
The program aims to produce graduates who will have:
-
a broad understanding of people, society and human services within society
-
a specialist interest in the characteristics and needs of a particular service area (such as education, human rights or sustainability)
-
some practical experience at appraising and evaluating human services and/or introducing innovations and improvements.
Graduates should obtain job satisfaction through working with people from across society: applying their problem solving skills to produce sustainable improvements in the targeting, delivery and outcomes of human services in society.
Program objectives
On completion of the Bachelor of Social Science program, graduates will:
-
have developed a sound understanding of society, people and systems within society, and methods for evaluating society
-
have developed a specialist understanding of a selected aspect of society via the designated majors
-
be able to apply their knowledge and skills in an interdisciplinary context to address society’s problems
-
have acquired communication, numeracy, and research skills appropriate to the field
-
be able to demonstrate knowledge of the key theories in social science.

Residential schools
The attendance requirement of residential schools within this degree is indicated by the following letters: V = Voluntary; O = Optional; C = Compulsory; R = Recommended; HR = Highly Recommended; M = Mandatory. To find out more about residential schools, visit the Residential School Schedule to view specific dates for your degree, or visit the Policy and Procedure Library.
Some courses in this program will have compulsory residential schools. Please consult course specifications for details.
Credit
Although not all students are full-time, the degree is split into a first year, a second year and a third year (as per the recommended enrolment plans). Students who transfer into the degree may be able to enter the second or third year directly, depending on their prior qualifications. Students who, in the past ten years, have already passed the equivalent of 8 course units of social science or 12 course units from other disciplines may enter the second year of the degree, and students who have passed the equivalent of 16 units of social science or 24 course units from other disciplines may enter the third year of the degree. Where such block credit is given, the courses to be taken shall be determined by the Faculty of Business, Education, Law and Arts, and students may be permitted to graduate with one major rather than the usual two. Alternatively, credit transfer may be given on a course-by-course basis, enabling students to be exempt from specific courses in the Bachelor of Social Science as long as they have passed other courses in the past ten years that are comparable in content and level.
No course may be counted towards more than one part of the degree under any circumstances, the parts of the degree being defined as the Core, Major 1, Major 2, a recognised Minor, and Elective courses.
