Course Overview

Our dynamic, award-winning BSc Community Development and Public Policy will provide you with the theoretical knowledge and practice-based skills to develop or advance a career in community work. Communities and charities are key actors in relation to public policy and social, political, and economic activity in a post-lockdown society and this program will provide you with the knowledge and skills to make a difference in the sector. You will learn about the latest theoretical and policy developments in the areas of community development and public policy, including the role of communities in fighting for social justice. You will critically reflect on these issues and the role of community development in public policy, focusing particularly on governance, citizenship, equality and diversity, partnership working, and community engagement. You will also develop practical skills in project management, leadership, policy analysis, and evaluation. This course is designed for anyone working with, or who has an interest in, communities. You will be taught by, and engage with, academic experts and practitioners from a range of community, voluntary, local, and national government organizations and backgrounds.
