Course summary

This degree course is fantastic for anybody who is interested in current issues and debates in society.

Throughout this course you will cover a diverse range of topics, including the impact of social variables on our lives, such as class, gender, LGBT+ status and race.

We also study politics, climate change, mental health, the impact of digitalisation and further psychological and social factors on young people’s development.

This BA (Hons) Social Sciences degree course will equip you with the skills and knowledge to progress onto a range of social science vocations, or further study at postgraduate level and beyond.

It will provide the skills and knowledge needed to interpret current issues and debates in society, to analyse and apply theories to various contemporary social issues and to demonstrate an understanding of the diverse ethical, cultural, social and political contexts in which key social issues arise. Across this course you will develop the skills to conduct social science research into these and other topics and critically evaluate research findings.

The first year of the course explores social science theories and debates. You will also develop academic and professional skills to equip you for higher education study and further vocational destinations.

Topics in subsequent years will build upon year one, exploring topics in greater depth or learning new knowledge and skills that align specifically with psychology, sociology and criminology. The third year offers you the chance to use a year-long dissertation to focus in on any topic from the social sciences in which you're interested and which align with future career goals.
