 Social science is where we're putting the mirror on ourselves as humans and studying the things that we do as people. A social science degree is really powerful. It's the degree where you understand how the human world works, how the social world works. And that's what so much of professional success is about. The Bachelor of Social Science ticked all of the boxes. It looks at society and people and behaviour and relationships, but also that environmental sustainability or global security and being able to major in those subjects. I was just like, that is so cool, like tailoring a course that meets my passion and my purpose. We've chosen six majors for this degree, which speak to the big issues of our time. Students can combine any two of those. You can be an expert in economics and environmental sustainability. We could be studying media and communications with politics in Asia and that's a really powerful combination for students and it makes them highly employable. It's no wonder that so many people in high positions of power, whether it be government, business or community group have a social science background because understanding social science is understanding human problems and being able to solve those problems. The Bachelor of Social Science really empowers students to make a difference in the world. I believe these classes and feel that I have the skills and tools to go and enact change. Ever since I was a little girl I've been told to always stop rocking the boat righty, stop asking questions righty. For me, this is the perfect place. I literally feel like I've come home in this degree because I get to ask the questions. I get to rock the boat. Studying this degree has allowed me to connect with people who have these same beliefs and these same values and have that same motivation and inspiration. The Bachelor of Social Science helps me understand the world so that I can have a lasting positive impact on the planet.
