Course Overview

The subjects studied include general social science disciplines such as economics and politics, and specialist areas such as family policy, welfare policy, criminology and the extent of poverty and inequality. The Freshman (first two) years are more general and foundational in nature, while the Sophister years (three and four) will focus more specifically on Sociology and Social Policy.

A strentgh of the course is that it explores these issues in a genuinely comparative context. Teaching methods include lectures, seminars and group project work.
