Overview

Bachelor of Social Science (Ageing and Disability)

In this program at UniSA, you will apply a broad and coherent body of knowledge of political, behavioural and social sciences in a range of ageing and disability-focused human service contexts.

You will develop in-depth knowledge of policy and apply it by:

  • Navigating major systems such as the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and My Aged Care policies,
  • Informing social policy development,
  • Enhancing service provisions, and
  • Promoting social inclusion within the ageing and disability sectors.

You will explore diverse scenarios and learn how to effectively manage challenging situations during on-campus sessions in our state-of-the-art Social Work and Human Services Studios. 

You will then get the opportunity to practice these skills when you complete 560 hours of work placements during your final year of study.
