Programme profile
The aim of this degree is to provide a coherent and integrated introduction to the study of the social sciences and philosophy. It brings together some of the most important approaches to understanding the social and human world, developing skills for a whole range of future careers and activities.
The idea behind the programme is that, to understand social and human phenomena, one must approach them from several complementary disciplinary directions and analytical frameworks. By allowing a gradual specialisation over the course of the four-year degree programme, students are assured of obtaining an excellent grounding in one, or at most two, of the disciplines which make up the degree
Programme content
