Description of course |
The Social Sciences degree gives you the opportunity to study different
subjects (social policy, psychology, history, politics and sociology),
offering an interdisciplinary and multi-perspective approach to
investigating society and people. Contemporary issues (such as health
care, forensic psychology, cultural identity and political violence) are
never simple to understand, but the degree programme provides a
multi-layered analysis of such issues. In addition, new and returning
students value the ability to select topics and modules to match their
interests and needs in a flexible and coherent manner. Of particular
relevance here is the offering of a new module, Social Justice Practice,
which enables students to combine a placement at a voluntary sector
organisation in the Medway area with theoretical study. This module is
offered to Year 2 students, and runs across two terms.
The BSc in Social Sciences is taught at the Medway campus of the
University of Kent.
