Social sciences cover a wide range of subjects, from sociology to political science to anthropology, and provide an understanding of human behaviour and society as a whole.

Students of the social sciences will explore why the world is what it is, gaining insight into people, cultures, and events on a global scale. Courses encourage critical thinking and analysis skills alongside building a groundwork in the science that informs social systems.

Because there are so many specialisms that fall under the social sciences umbrella, there are career opportunities in many industries on national and international levels. Social scientists can go on to work in the criminal justice system, become policy makers, become psychologists, and even go into economics.
