The UWS BA (Hons) in Social Sciences focuses on the central themes of social justice, power and inequalities.

The first two years of this degree equip you with a firm grounding in the essential disciplines of politics, policy and sociology.

After this, you can choose to follow one of three specialist pathways:

- Politics and Policy
- Sociology and Policy
- Sociology.

In these pathways, you will deepen your understanding of society, politics, and policy and have opportunities to develop further subject specialisation.

Graduate employability is embedded throughout the programme, as you develop your critical thinking skills alongside a wide range of research and transferable skills that are highly valued by the public, private and voluntary sectors.
