Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Public Services

University of South Wales - Treforest

Public services affect people's day-to-day lives in many ways; from the collection of refuse to community regeneration, and the protection provided by the emergency services and the health service. On this public services course, students will explore how these services operate and the challenges they face in the 21st century, preparing them for a career in this important and diverse sector.

A key feature of this public services degree is the link between theory and practice. Learning is often based on real-life data, as well as examples and case studies from public, voluntary and community organizations. This ensures that what students learn is relevant to the workplace and situations they may encounter when they graduate.

Students will also be encouraged to undertake a short-term placement during their studies. Students could get the chance to work with public sector organizations such as the NHS. This valuable opportunity will ensure students are equipped with the skills needed by employers when they graduate.
