Social Sciences

About this course

Human society is endlessly complex, shaped by institutions, identities, economic forces, and the millions of individual decisions people make every day. Social sciences exist to make sense of that complexity, drawing on disciplines such as sociology, politics, criminology, and economics to examine how societies function, why inequalities persist, and how change happens. Rather than offering simple answers, the social sciences train you to ask better questions and to evaluate evidence with care and critical honesty. At Glasgow Caledonian University, this four-year full-time degree immerses you in the core questions of contemporary social life. You will explore topics including crime and justice, democracy and governance, globalisation, migration, gender, and human rights. The programme draws on multiple social science disciplines, helping you to develop a broad and connected understandin
