About 2.5-Term Pathway - Foundation Certificate for Business, Law and Social Sciences - Transfer to Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Social Policy
Program Description
For students who've finished high school but don’t meet the entry requirements for university, a Foundation Certificate can help them gain entry to an undergraduate degree. After completing this pathway option students qualify for progression to the 1st year of an undergraduate degree at the University of York.
A student’s course length is determined mainly by their English language level (UKVI IELTS score). Students on all course lengths take a set of common or similar modules to gain a solid base of skills for university. Students taking a course longer than 2 terms, will take additional modules designed to improve one or more of their English language level, academic skills, and basic knowledge of particular subjects.
Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Social Policy
A BA in Social Policy will enable students to understand the causes of social problems and how societies attempt to solve them, both nationally and internationally. Students will receive a thorough grounding in core social sciences, including sociology, social psychology, politics and economics and use what they learn to explore why making successful policies is so complex, why patterns of inequality persist and what more can be done to address social problems.
Social policy is concerned with promoting the welfare of citizens. Traditionally the subject focused on the ‘big five’ areas of: poverty, health, housing, education and unemployment, but has expanded in recent years to broader social issues and international contexts. Often social policy questions the ways in which services do or do not meet the needs of specific groups, such as children, people with disabilities, women, older people, or members of minority ethnic groups.
On York's BA Social Policy course students will receive a broad and balanced introduction to a range of social sciences and training in social research methods. This degree is suited to students if they are interested in the welfare state, the impact of globalisation, social inequalities, the complexities of making successful policies, and what more can be done to solve social problems at home and abroad.
