French is a major international language. It is the first language of more than 100 million people across the world, while more than 60 million people speak French as a second language.

Social policy is a theoretical and applied subject which draws on many different disciplines - such as history, sociology, anthropology, economics, law, psychology and politics - to improve our understanding of how different societies organise their resources to meet individual and social needs and how they measure progress in these areas.

Our BA degrees in Humanities & Social Sciences are initially broad-based. In Year 1, you'll study three subjects, including your chosen subject(s).

Why this course ?

• French is a major international language. It's the first language of more than 100 million people across the world, while more than 60 million people speak French as a second language.

Civil engineering develops and improves facilities and services that society needs – from the supply of clean water and energy to the design and construction of roads, railways and stations.

Tall buildings such as the Shard in London or the new Queensferry Bridge across the Firth of Forth are exciting examples of civil engineering.

Graduates of our civil engineering degrees develop and renew towns and cities, and improve links with more remote communities.

Solving problems of air, land and water pollution and protecting society against natural disasters are also important aspects of civil engineering.

Accreditation
This degree is accredited by the:

Following the recent global economic crisis, economics is more important and relevant than ever. Decisions on money, banking, interest rates, taxation and government spending affect us all, with global consequences.

Economics aims to understand the activities of the different agents in the economy – consumers, producers and the government – and how they all fit together.

Our degree will give you the ability to explain complex data in simple terms to different audiences. You’ll also develop excellent mathematical, statistical and problem-solving skills.

In Psychology, you’ll study human behaviour. Psychological research is motivated by the desire to understand both general behaviour (how we learn, remember, co-ordinate our actions and interact with others) and the reasons for the differences between individuals, such as personality or intelligence.

Please note, a joint Honours degree is not accredited for the Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership by the British Psychological Society.

Study with us

• Study in a department which is home to the Fraser of Allander Institute – a leading research institute which offers internship and work placement opportunities for our students
• Use key economics concepts and models to better understand real-world problems
• Develop excellent analytical and problem-solving skills that are highly valued by employers
• Gain the ability to explain complex data in simple terms to a diverse audience
• Benefit from being taught by staff who have strong links with policy-makers and industry.

There are a number of ways you can study law at Strathclyde, one such way being the BA degree in combination with another subject.

Law is concerned with the study of the obligations, duties and rights which every member of society has in relation to one another and to the state.

The study of law is regarded not as purely vocational, but part of a broader education. Please note, however, that studying law within the BA degree will not qualify you for entry to the legal profession. For professional qualifications in Law students follow the LLB programme.

Education is essential if you're hoping to study initial teacher education courses. We offer you the chance to develop knowledge of the education systems of Scotland and beyond, looking at issues including policy, social justice, equity and inclusion.

Combining education with other subjects provides opportunities for those who wish to work in professions associated with education, but who don't wish necessarily to become teachers. Please note that this course doesn't allow you to qualify as a teacher, though joint honours Education graduates will be able to explore postgraduate routes into teaching careers (via the Professional Graduate Diploma in Education).

Study with us

• Opportunity to put theory into practice in a community placement and enhance your employability
• Develop your knowledge and understanding of the education systems of Scotland and beyond
• Experience research-informed, evidence-based teaching by internationally-recognised professionals
• Opportunity to progress to a Professional Graduate Diploma in Education (PGDE) Primary/Secondary
• Our BA degrees in Humanities & Social Sciences are initially broad-based. In Year 1, you'll study three subjects, including your chosen subject(s)
