Course Description
The BA in Philosophy and Criminology is one of the pathways within the BA Social Sciences degree.
It is ideal if you want to keep your options open or study specific topics, such as race, class, crime or religion, from a variety of different perspective.

The six subject areas are:

- Politics - The study of human organisation, government and power, political systems and institutions.
- Data Analytics - The study of data and analysis to understand the social world.
- Social Anthropology - The study of societies and cultures across the globe in comparative perspective. - Sociology - The study of society. It examines issues of social inequalities and forms of everyday life.
