Bachelor of Social Science

  • 3 years
  • Full and part time
  • On campus

If you're looking for an interesting and versatile course of study, this is it.

Graduates come out with a strong understanding of human behaviour and skills of critical thinking, information handling, and analysis and presentation. These attributes are attractive in a wide variety of careers.

This degree is particularly suited to students without a fixed career path or more mature students whose enthusiasm and life experience combine to make a successful academic career in their 30's and 40's and beyond.

There have been changes to the courses listed in the schedule for the BSocSc in 2009. Students who were registered in the degree before 2009 may complete the degree according to the regulations printed in the 2008 Lincoln University Calendar, or they may elect to satisfy the requirements of the degree under the 2009 regulations. In some cases transitional arrangements may apply. See a course advisor for more information.
