Social Science joint honours

The Faculty of Social Sciences also offer two joint honours degrees:

Single honours degrees

Students wanting to concentrate on a single subject still have opportunities to add in something extra.

Many of our single honours degrees allow students to take one or two modules from other subjects. This can be to complement their main studies or simply personal interest. So if they want to study English but also the Philosophy of Language they could. Similarly, they could concentrate on History, but take a module in art history. These are discussions that can be had with admissions tutors at open days. 

The Language Centre also offers modules in a wide range of languages that can be included in this allowance.
