If you’re interested in a career in social services or public administration, studying Social Policy as 50% of your degree offers valuable insights into how governments design and deliver support in areas such as health, education and welfare. Our research-led Social Policy programme critically examines how societies decide who receives support, what form it takes and how it is delivered. You’ll be immersed in current political debates and real-world challenges, exploring the social changes and divisions that shape policy decisions, alongside broader issues of social inclusion and exclusion. You also have the option to focus on social research methods, gaining practical skills in investigating the social world.
Hispanic Studies (50% of your degree) combines advanced linguistic development with in-depth cultural study. You will take Spanish at beginners or advanced level, working towards becoming proficient, alongside cultural modules each semester, in addition to modules in your partner subject. In year two, all students can study Catalan or Portuguese. In later years, you continue with Spanish language modules and specialist options spanning Iberian and Latin American literature, cinema and culture from medieval to modern periods. A Year Abroad, which may be split between two regions, consolidates fluency and enhances your international career prospects.
Most Combined Degrees allow you to adapt the weighting of each by 25% after the first year, helping you to keep your options open. Please note, however, students studying either a Business or Economics pathway in combination with another subject cannot increase from 25% to 50% or from 50% to 75% and it is not possible to transfer from a 50% to 75% Law.
