When you study social sciences with us you'll explore real-world issues such as global inequality, climate justice, migration and political change. You could explore Japanese pop culture as an anthropologist, study desertification or smart cities as a geographer or work with a local MP as a politics student. As a criminologist, you can investigate the causes of criminal behaviour and its impact on society. As a sociologist, you can explore the impact of technology and social media on individuals and society.
