Purpose
This degree is focused on the theory and practice of community development. The degree is called 鈥榮ocial policy鈥 (for an administrative reason) but the content is entirely on community development. It involvesfive theory modules on community development (including models of and approaches to community development, ethics and project management), three modules on research (with a focus on community-based action research) and a whole year module of internship (requiring you to work in a supervised, approved placement for three days a week). This degree articulates closely with the BA Community Development and Leadership, and together they will lead towards registration as a community development practitioner, when community development is professionalised with the SA Council for Social Service Practitioners.
Admission Requirements
