Headline quotes from the report and more details.
This is a highly successful course which offers a distinctive approach to study in the social sciences. It is a multi-disciplinary degree that recognises that the understanding of human society cannot be fully achieved within the confines of a single discipline. BASS is distinctive in insisting on a compulsory module in philosophy of the social sciences in Year 2 in the belief that an understanding of the philosophical foundations of the social sciences is crucial to their appreciation. There are opportunities for specialisation, and the course seeks to develop students' transferable skills. This course is a combined honours degree in psychology and social sciences.
