Social Sciences include a set of disciplines that focus on topics connected to human behaviour in relation to society and culture at large. These are some of the aspects Social Sciences deal with: human relationships, communication, ethics, trade, and many others.

With subjects like Economics, Cultural Studies, Communication Sciences, Psychology, and Gender & Sexuality Studies, Social Sciences is a field combining theory and research. Social Sciences always aim for old concepts and notions to be adapted to modern contexts and with contemporary applications.

Social Sciences are perfect for people who want to understand why humans behave the way they do and how human society can be improved. Students learn how to engage in a variety of subjects, some of them very complex in nature. You’ll learn to think critically and see where you can contribute to make your community a better place.
