About the course

As our world becomes increasingly connected, the challenges people face globally come to the forefront. International social policy is about understanding the world, but also changing it. How can we create a stable society? What are the causes and consequences of poverty? Is the distribution of wealth socially just?

On this course, you'll explore topics like discrimination in a multicultural world, social policies in less developed countries, and international migration, and compare welfare policies from around the globe. 

You'll be able to critically evaluate policies and understand their socio-economic and political consequences, and use your knowledge to advise how these outcomes can be improved to ensure a more equal society.
