Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Social Sciences
Program Overview
The UWS BA (Hons) in Social Sciences focuses on the central themes of social justice, power and inequalities.
The first two years of this degree equip you with a firm grounding in the essential disciplines of politics, policy and sociology.
After this, you can choose to follow one of three specialist pathways:
- Politics and Policy (Paisley Campus)
- Sociology and Policy (Paisley Campus)
- Sociology (Lanarkshire Campus)
Investigating social and political change, you will explore both how we understand society and how we can change it for the better, developing your critical thinking alongside a wide range of research and transferable skills that are highly valued by the public, private and voluntary sectors.
Course highlights
- You will investigate the driving forces behind and potential solutions to complex local and global challenges in society, using a range of theoretical lenses and research methods
- Specialist pathways will provide you with the opportunity for in-depth exploration of social issues such as health, migration, development, international relations, gender, nationalism and welfare
- You will develop your understanding and experience of social sciences as a creative problem solver, drawing on cutting-edge research, policy analysis and evaluation
- You will work with expert academic staff by choosing your own preferred course theme, completing an in-depth independent research project in your Honours year
