Profile
Social Policy entails the study of those social relations shaping human welfare and wellbeing and analysis of the means by which governments achieve citizens’ well-being through the formation of policies, provision of services, and responding to social issues and problems. As a course of undergraduate study, Social Policy fits with a commitment to advance the cause of a just, pluralistic, and sustainable society. The course encourages engagement with wider society and civic engagement through modules on issues such as refugee policy, housing and homelessness, aging and the lifecourse, youth, reproductive rights, social inequality, disability, and domestic violence. A global outlook is a recurring and integral part of the course. Our curriculum aims to give you thorough training in the systematic analysis of contemporary social issues and the role of social policy in comparative country contexts. At the end of your four years, you should have developed both a general understanding of the field of social policy and specific expertise in select contemporary policy issues, the process of policy making, and the skills of research, analysis, and argumentation applicable to the policy arena.
Notes
"Ireland bases its tuition rates on residence (3 of the last 5 years living in the EU) despite whether you're an EU citizen or not. In other words, only those who have resided in an EU country 3 of the last 5 years are eligible for the discounted rates."
