Spotlight on BA (Hons) in Social Science at DBS
A focused syllabus for a successful career
|
Whether your interest is in progressing towards a career in social care, professional social research or policy analysis, for example, or whether you are interested in a broad-based undergraduate education, the BA (Hons) Social Science is the degree for you. From social policy and ageing to language and crime, students will be challenged to think in a rigorous and scientific way about social processes, institutions and policies. From the first to the final year of the programme there is a consistent emphasis on training students to carry out their own research and to critically challenge the world around them. Learners graduating with a BA (Hons) in Social Science will, depending on final year grades, be eligible for postgraduate training in social science related areas in Ireland and abroad, such as social work, addiction studies, sociology, anthropology, criminology, research methodology, etc. The knowledge base and skill set acquired during their years of study will also equip learners for postgraduate work across a variety of other fields. Those learners who wish to seek work directly upon graduation will be ideally placed to gain employment commercially, in the fast expanding niche of social research in established institutions, or on funded research projects. Nongovernmental organisations, the communications industry and the emerging information sector have also shown high levels of demand for graduates trained in social scientific research methods. We are now accepting applications for the BA (Hons) in Social Science, commencing September 2014. To learn more about the programme, or to discuss your application, please contact our Admissions Office on +353 1 4177500 or by email on international@dbs.ie.
