Social Sciences

If you’re fascinated by people and what makes them tick, if you like to help solve problems and understand what causes them, and are interested in learning people skills you can apply in many different ways, then studying social sciences could be perfect for you.

Social sciences are not only what you study to become a social worker or a teacher, the range of careers you can pursue is much broader. Social sciences cover subjects as diverse as childcare, politics, psychology and sociology – all subjects that impact on the wider world, looking at society and the relationships among individuals within it. As a Henley social science student, you will learn the analytical and comprehension skills that are important throughout many industries and organisations. Social science qualifications are in high demand as you will also have transferable skills in problem solving, planning and communicating complex technical solutions to others. If you have a keen interest in the wider society in which you live, a curiosity about the social and cultural forces that make us the people we are, and an enthusiasm for venturing beneath the surface of current affairs, then this area of study may suit you very well.
