The twelve units covering areas of community work; interpersonal and helping skills; cultural and gender dimensions; social policy; social research; leadership; and management, challenge the student to consider viewing and solving societal issues from a number of perspectives. This Major prepares the student to work in a leadership position in all areas of the community services sector. In addition to the twelve units and to ensure the student is workplace ready, a 400 hour Professional Placement unit (30 Credit Points) in the community and social science field can be undertaken along with a Minor in their area of interest.  If the Professional Placement unit is not undertaken, the student can select another Major from the university that will support their graduate employability goals.
