Social Sciences - University of Kent

This degree programme also includes the option of a year in professional practice at the end of Stage 2 depending on academic performance. See the 'Year in industry' section on the 'Course structure' tab for more details. Studying the social sciences will give you specific knowledge and understanding of society, tools to analyse key issues such as class, poverty, inequality, health, crime, and urban change, as well as concrete skills, for instance, in giving presentations, analysing information, and writing reports. Perhaps most importantly, our BSc in Social Sciences equips you to better understand the world we live in and gives you the capacity to apply your knowledge and skills in new contexts at work and in everyday life.
