Social Science is what connects people with each other and what divides us, as well as exploring questions of social justice and inequality.

This course equips you with an understanding of how society works and how you can make a positive change. You learn to analyse, challenge and gain insight into globally significant theories about class, race, work, social justice, gender, family and communities. You will also explore the exciting complexities of the human social experience and armed with these in-depth insights, you can help policy makers find the right solutions to improve the society in which we exist.

This course prepares graduates for working with people and communities, and being able to specialise in family support, community work and community development.
