Description
Social policy provides an exciting opportunity to critically analyse contemporary social issues related to human wellbeing, inequality and disadvantage, and crime. This course takes an international and comparative perspective in many units, ensuring social policy is considered in its global context.
The first year introduces key concepts and ideologies, and familiarises you with theoretical, comparative and historical analyses. It also develops your research skills as a social scientist.
Year two develops conceptual frameworks further, and deepens your research methods knowledge. Years two and three allow you to explore your interests in greater depth through a range of optional units. These units vary over time according to current developments in global political and social issues.
The final-year dissertation is an opportunity to choose a topic for in-depth investigation and independent work.
The BSc Social Policy has been declared the best in the UK in The Guardian's 2018 university league table.
