BA (Hons) Social Policy & Economics

... United Kingdom
... University of Strathclyde

Course Overview

Social Policy examines how societies distribute resources and develop services to meet individual and social needs. Critical social policy issues discussed include poverty; economic, race, age and gender inequality; social justice health; education; criminal justice and housing.

It utilises qualitative and quantitative methods to improve our understanding of how societies organise their resources to meet individual and social needs and how they measure progress in these areas. 

This programme allows you to learn more about the social and economic challenges facing Scottish society and place these in a broader international perspective. It draws on history, sociology, anthropology, economics, law, psychology, social anthropology and politics.

Following the recent global economic crisis, economics is more important and relevant than ever. Decisions on money, banking, interest rates, taxation and government spending affect us all, with global consequences.

Our degree will allow you to explain complex data in simple terms to different audiences. You’ll also develop excellent mathematical, statistical and problem-solving skills.
