UK’s University of Southampton to offer BSc Applied Social Sciences in Criminology and Psychological Studies programme
University of Southampton’s School of Social Sciences is inviting applications for its programme BSc Applied Social Sciences (Criminology and Psychological Studies). Applied social science is the study of society and culture and the way in which people and social groups behave and impact on the world around us. The criminology pathway enables students to explore the development of the discipline, its range of perspectives and their applications to specific areas of crime and criminal justice including comparisons with the experiences of other countries.
The key objective of the programme is to ensure that the students are able to use both qualitative and quantitative research techniques appropriately and effectively. The core of the programme allows for flexible study around a variety of disciplines, in the context of a clearly interdisciplinary approach. This three year duration programme will enable students to acquire new knowledge and discover new ways of thinking about society and culture. Students undertake three years, following a set of core modules in applied social science together with criminology and psychological studies modules. Year one provides a foundation in the social sciences and serves as an introduction to years two and three.
The programme commences in September and the deadline to apply for the same is June 30, 2013. Applicants are selected on the quality of their application. Applicants with a strong academic background and a clear commitment to subject will be considered for an offer based on the quality of their UCAS application. IELTS 6.5 or equivalent is also required. The annual fee for the programme is £12,420.
