Human Services
Human Services is an interdisciplinary field of study that aims to improve quality of life for people and communities facing adversity. According to the United Nations, human development is a process of enlarging people’s choices—leading to healthier lives, increased education, and decent standards of living.
Our award-winning, accredited courses and programs are designed for those who teach, guide and educate across a range of organizations and contexts, including the care of children, elders and vulnerable people, mental health and counselling, social work, psycho-social support, and community development.
