Social sciences is the study of society and the way in which people behave and influence the world. Students follow a common foundation programme in Year 1. You will study a range of social science modules, including Psychology, Sociology, Social Policy and Politics, as well as modules that provide the tools necessary for the study of social science. The common foundation will provide students with key transferable skills, developing core areas of critical thinking, information literacy, and data handling and analysis. Students will become self-regulated and self-aware learners, with the personal and transferable skills necessary for study and the modern workplace.

During the programme it is possible for students to spend a trimester abroad on student exchange; recently, students have studied in Romania, Denmark and Hungary.
