Course Summary

Societies are changing rapidly and are increasingly having to respond to the challenges of globalisation, new technologies, demographic shifts and the after effects of austerity and recession. Drawing on insights from sociology, social policy, politics, psychology and criminology this course offers you the opportunity to acquire a solid grounding in and critical understanding of social science, and how policies and political decisions impact on the lives of people and communities, locally, nationally and internationally. **Why study this course?** - This is a multi-disciplinary programme exploring aspects from a range of perspectives (sociological, criminological, psychological) rather than just from a single programme. - You will learn how to apply social scientific knowledge to investigate and address real-world social and community concerns. - You will be taught by an experienced and supportive course team with active research interests in the applied social sciences. - You will also develop highly transferable research and communication skills which are relevant to a wide range of work and volunteering contexts.
