Course Information

The BSc (Hons) Social Sciences is a relevant and stimulating course that allows us to make sense of lived and real experiences.

It provides a detailed understanding of the function and complexity of society, the lives of different individuals and the role of communities and workplaces within it. The content of the course is broad, covering contemporary ideas, theories of society, history and culture.

The course offers a deeper contemplation and reflection of our values and shared principles. You will interrogate national and global social issues and problems together with policy and practice intervention responses across the government, the third sector and the human services.

Potential employers from the private, public and voluntary sector favour Social Sciences graduates for the diversity of your transferable social science knowledge and skills, humanistic values and your breadth of mind
