It is designed as broad higher-education study concerning people, society and human-centred development rather than a narrowly occupational qualification. The available information indicates that its registration period ended on 20 October 2016, so its current availability should be confirmed before considering enrolment.
Who might consider this qualification?
It may interest people seeking broad academic study of human and social issues, or those considering further study or work in areas connected with people, communities and human-centred development. This is general guidance only and does not confirm admission or suitability for a particular career.
How this qualification may support career preparation
The qualification may provide a broad foundation relevant to people- and society-focused work, but no specific related careers are identified in the available information.
