Improve your understanding of the rapidly changing world. Social scientists examine the dynamics of societal change and seek answers to questions such as what creates wellbeing or a lack of it, what causes alienation, what is happening in education and the labor market, and what is the role of culture in shaping our relationships with each other. The Bachelor of Social Sciences degree consists of studies in sociology and social and public policy. Teaching covers key social scientific theories and methods for collecting and analyzing data. These are applied to key topics in social sciences, such as labor, education, care, multiculturalism, and information and communication technology, and how they interlink with each other.
