Modules

This degree has three stages. At Stage 1, you’ll begin with a broad introductory module exploring key concepts, evidence and sources of knowledge in the social sciences, examining topics from criminology, development, economics, geography, politics, philosophy, religious studies, and sociology. You'll then study two modules, with one focusing on personal finance, and the other giving you a critical perspective on economics in our daily lives. At Stage 2 you'll explore how the social world is being transformed by the internet and digital technology. You’ll also investigate contemporary economic issues and theories, applying a range of models and techniques to real-world scenarios such as how markets work, managing the national economy, competition, international trade, unemployment and inflation. At Stage 3 you’ll choose from a range of social science modules. You’ll complete your degree by learning about the economic theories and techniques used to explain the behaviour of people in households, firms, markets and governments.
