Additional Information
A major in Social Development equips you with the knowledge and skills to intervene professionally to address some of the many major challenges in Africa, including poverty, HIV/Aids and social insecurity. Social Development also enables professionals to work within governments, non-governmental organisations, international development agencies and the business sector. As a practitioner in this field, you will acquire the knowledge to work directly with communities, with youth, with women, with families and households in rural and urban areas. Career opportunities are increasing for Social Development practitioners in the civil service, non-governmental organizations, in international aid and development organisations and in policy advocacy and development.
