Our BA (Hons) Social Studies Degree (part-time) is designed to give a broad understanding of the academic subjects which constitute the social sciences. These include sociology, health and social policy, business studies, economics, lifelong learning and politics.

You will choose to specialise in one discipline and this becomes your 'major' subject throughout your studies.

Flexible entry requirements, consideration given for non-traditional qualifications, work and life experience. Applicants are normally interviewed by the course selector.

While this degree offers flexibility, it is highly recommended that students complete 120 credits of Level 4 modules prior to Honours Level (5 and 6) study in order to prepare well for this.

On this degree, you will study a core module at each level

• Level 4 Foundations in Social Studies
• Honours Level 5 Research Methods in the Social Sciences
• Honours Level 6 Dissertation

For information on the modules you can take, please visit: Undergraduate Modules

• Business Studies
• Health and Social Policy
• Lifelong Learning
• Politics
• Sociology

Each of these subjects can be studied as a 'major'. On each 'major', there are core level 4 modules that serve as prerequisites or foundations for study at Honours Level. As you only study four level 4 modules, some care must be exercised about choosing which ones you take, but we will give you guidance with this.

There is an extensive range of optional modules and choose from alongside your core modules.

In addition to the core modules you will also take some optional modules and there is an extensive range on offer on this degree. You can choose modules from the 'major' subjects listed above and you can also take modules from the Centre for Lifelong Learning, Language Centre and the Institute for Advanced Teaching and Learning (IATL).

Each department has an undergraduate module webpage which details the modules on offer.
