The Social Sciences pathway is the stepping stone to some of the most complex and challenging issues we face as a community and as a nation. You will build an understanding of health, well-being, social justice, social change and the connection between where we live and our life chances.
This is the ideal pathway for you if you like to question the status quo and, importantly, solve the problems that we face. You will have the opportunities to consider the ethics of your decisions and present them in debates. You will have the time to ask questions and find the answers through a range of research methodologies. You will transform your mathematical understanding and communication skills to present your findings.
