About this course

- Learn about the social and economic challenges facing both Scotland and the UK.

  • Address some of the major questions of our time, such as how social policy should adapt to a changing global, digital, connected and information-rich world.

  • Gain insight into how different societies organise their resources to meet individual and social needs.

  • Undertake an extended investigation into a topic of your own choosing for your Honours dissertation.

  • Social policy examines the ways in which societies distribute resources and develop services. Studying Spanish with us will give you the chance to become a fluent linguist and, with our year abroad programme, an opportunity to experience living, working and studying in another country.

    Ranked 1st in Scotland for Social Policy (The Times/Sunday Times University Ranking 2024); Ranked Top 10 in Scotland for Iberian Languages (The Times/Sunday Times University Ranking 2024).

    This course is part of our flexible BA Humanities and Social Science Degree programme. With our BA (Honours) degree you can choose from subjects in Humanities, Social Sciences and Business, with two of your three subject choices taught by the Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences.

    The BA degree is a three year course and the Honours degree is normally a four year course. This allows you to try new subjects, develop your own ideas, develop a broad range of knowledge and enhance your employability.

    You should only enter one of the UCAS codes on your application form. Acceptance on one of these subject codes will enable you to study any combination of subjects. Only one application will be considered. This is lifted from page 50 of the prospectus.
