Students will focus on leadership within the social sciences discipline by engaging in learning in core approaches and frameworks that are to be contextually applied via focussed assessment.This course is designed to provide opportunity to focus on, evaluate and critically integrate knowledge and skills from the perspective of a Christian worldview. As a faith-based higher education provider, CHC aims to provide quality educational experiences for professionals in order that they may contribute meaningfully to their professions in applied social science areas, and to society more generally, in ways that authentically reflect values and tenets of the Christian faith.
