BACHELOR OF SOCIAL SCIENCE (BSocSc)
CURRENT STUDENTS
The UCD Bachelor of Social Science (BSocSc) degree provides the opportunity for you to study core social science disciplines. Students usually take a Joint Major in two subjects, the most common choice being Social Policy and Sociology. Other major subjects on offer within the degree are Archaeology, Economics, Geography, Information Studies and Politics.
In Stage 2, you will usually chose one of the seven study paths that have been designed to allow you to directly enter the labour market or to progress to graduate study, leading to a range of interesting and rewarding careers. Your choice of modules has been tailored to the type of career pathway that matches your particular interests, and each student can choose a unique combination of modules that best suits their needs. All of the study paths have some specialist modules not available to students on any other degree programme.
PLEASE NOTE:
1. While Psychology may be taken as a 10-credit subject in Stage 1 of the BSocSc, it cannot be taken as a major subject after that. However, some of the study paths contain specialist Psychology modules and Psychology can be taken as an elective module after Stage 1.
2. There is the facility to structure your degree differently if you do not wish to follow one of the seven study paths.
Further information on the degree in terms of structure, subjects and details be accessed in the booklet below.
