The innovators of the 21st century will bring together arts, science, engineering, humanities and enterprise to deliver innovative products, services and ways of living. They will be team players with skills and qualities that enable them to work across specialisms and cultures.
This course combines in-depth subject specialism in social policy with interdisciplinary breadth, creative teamwork and entrepreneurial skills. Alongside your social policy studies you will apply your subject knowledge by translating ideas into plans for digital and creative enterprises, both social and commercial.
Social policy is a multidisciplinary subject that provides an exciting opportunity to critically analyse contemporary social issues related to human wellbeing, inequality, disadvantage and crime. The course is taught by experts in their field and takes an international and comparative perspective in many units, ensuring social policy is considered within a global context.
You will come together with students from other innovation disciplines, such as management and anthropology, each contributing a unique perspective on a challenge as you identify needs and develop ideas. Ultimately, you'll create innovative solutions together.
By the time you graduate you will have a portfolio of work ranging from live client projects to planning your own entrepreneurial venture. You will have learned how to evaluate the potential of your product or service and how to finance it, and you will have a network of peers and advisers who have worked with you along the way.
