    Master of Arts Programme in Social Policy

    Programme features 

    - The Programme is intensive and rigorous. It has a curriculum that covers areas and contents which are both theoretical and practical, and that is essential to the academic study of social policy and policy making activities that promote the well-being of society

Apart from referring to international social policy experience in general, it also looks at social policy practice in the Chinese societies of Hong Kong and mainland China in particular. This comparative perspective enables students to integrate the need to understand the broad and theoretical picture of social policy on the one hand with the need to be based on specific cultural, social and developmental contexts on the other hand, in order to design social policies appropriate to the local scene
    - The Programme applies scientific research methods to investigate and examine issues related to social policy. It also prepares students to understand current social policies in East Asia (including Hong Kong and China) with a focus on characteristics and the reform of social welfare
