Course Description

Course Profile

Social and Public Policy is a unique 3-year undergraduate degree program designed for students who want to make a real impact in the world. Taught entirely in English, this full-time, fee-paying program is perfect for creative, motivated individuals who thrive in a multicultural environment.

Throughout the six semesters, students will engage in over 20 courses and a diploma seminar to prepare for their bachelor thesis and individual focus. The first two semesters introduce the major concepts and theories of social and public policies, while the remaining semesters focus on designing, implementing, and evaluating policies related to social and public issues.

What sets the Social and Public Policy program apart is its interdisciplinary approach, exposing students not only to social and public policy but also to diverse fields such as law, economics, history, and culture. The University's prime location grants students access to an array of academic and extracurricular activities, including captivating open lectures by distinguished professors from all corners of the globe. Moreover, students are strongly encouraged to participate in the Erasmus+ Programme, offering them a wide perspective on social and public issues through a semester abroad.

Program students can use the opportunity to apply for the Dual Diploma Program with the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU). Upon acceptance, they will begin studying for their Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Social Policy and Social Entrepreneurship program at PolyU. This unique program enables students to earn diplomas from both the University of Warsaw and PolyU. Students who qualify for our Dual Degree Program will receive a scholarship from PolyU during their stay in Hong Kong.

Employment prospects

Upon completion of this program, graduates will possess the necessary skills and knowledge to embark on diverse career paths in both the public and private sectors, as well as in non-governmental and international organizations. They will develop a profound understanding of social and public policy and will be well-prepared to pursue roles in public policy analysis, public administration, community development, education, and healthcare.
