Bachelor of Community Services - General

Offered by The University of New England

At the heart of community services is a desire to help people – to promote social justice and inclusion, and enable people to flourish. UNE's flexibly delivered Bachelor of Community Services will enable you to develop the skills to empower individuals, marginalised groups and communities in complex and rapidly changing community and health settings.

This course integrates real-world practice and contextual knowledge with an understanding of the theories and methods underpinning the effective practice of community services, as well as policy issues and legal and ethical responsibilities that guide this practice. UNE is uniquely placed to focus on the issues faced in regional and remote areas, particularly in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. This course is designed to equip you with the knowledge and practical experience you need to thrive in multidisciplinary health and community settings.
