Leading to: Applied Social Sciences BA (Hons)

Gain the skills, knowledge and confidence to tackle the big social science challenges facing society today including inequality, injustice and health.

As part of this course you’ll learn how to undertake high-quality research, how to communicate results to different audiences and how research can be applied to make a difference to our lives.

You’ll have the flexibility to focus on your own study pathway from the disciplines we teach:

  • Criminology
  • Politics
  • Education, culture and childhood
  • Sociology
  • Human geography
  • Social policy

In the first year, you'll study up to three of these subjects, examining societal issues from various points of view. In the second year, you choose up to two subject areas. In your third year, you'll choose one area to specialise in.

Studying your own mix of social science topics alongside applied practical research skills will equip you with a unique insight into how you might approach challenges facing society today.

We’ll teach you how to collect, interpret, apply and present a wide variety of data. This might include managing interview transcripts, conducting focus groups or thinking critically about statistics presented in the news.
