Master of Science [M.Sc] [Computer Science By Research] From University of Lincoln

On the BA atÊUniversity of LeedsÊyouÕll gain an understanding of the historical, social and cultural dimensions of policy-making and examine education, housing and urban policies to learn about how states provide for peopleÕs welfare. Using examples from around the world, youÕll consider the experiences of people who receive social welfare services to understand the impact social policy has on their lives.

By connecting issues facing contemporary societies to the big ideas that help to shed light on them, youÕll learn about why social problems and inequalities exist and why some activities are seen as deviant or criminal. A wide range of optional modules reflecting our diverse research interests will also allow you to explore broader topics such as disability rights, terrorism or childhood.

Throughout this undergraduate degree you will benefit from studying at one of the best universities for social policy and sociology.
