Geography Geography is the study of the way the world works. As such, it is a uniquely diverse and integrative discipline that spans the natural and social sciences. If you study it as a social science or humanities subject you will learn about the relationships between people and their social, cultural, political and economic worlds. Social policy Social policy is the study of societies and the way they change through policy making. It looks at the ways in which public policies, social institutions and market forces affect how contemporary societies operate and are affected by debates about social justice. Social policy is relevant to many areas of everyday life, including housing, employment, income, health and education. This programme will appeal to students who are interested in current political and social issues that appear in the news as well as longer-term changes in how societies work – whether at local, national, European or global levels.
