The Humanities and Social Sciences in Action General course encourages students to become socially aware and active participants in society. They develop knowledge and understanding of contemporary and ongoing issues facing individuals, societies and governments today and into the future. The course provides students with the skills to make informed choices about important social issues. Students explore how change can be affected by the actions and perspectives of stakeholders, from individuals and groups to governments. Humanities and Social Sciences skills are used to research viewpoints around contemporary issues and develop possible solutions to help ensure a more sustainable future.
