The Bachelor of Human Services offers an employment pathway into contemporary human services contexts. It engages meaningfully with important questions of human experience and develops graduates who are well-equipped to improve society through effective people helping practice. The course emphasises both theory and hands-on experience and develops essential skills in working with diverse groups of people in managing the issues they face in modern society. The course has been developed around hands-on pedagogy and proximity to social services organisations. It offers three specialisation areas: Human Behaviour; Family Support and Child Protection; and Youth Work. Student feedback shows that CHC social sciences students appreciate the professional practice-informed lectures by industry practitioners who teach subjects and offer invited guest lectures in their area of expertise.
