Our classes cover some of the most important and interesting historical periods at home and abroad, including Scotlands ‘Highland Problem in the 16th century, Slavery in World History and Cold War Europe, 1945-1991. Throughout your studies, you'll receive excellent training in areas such as problem-solving, communication, research methods and interpretation. Social Policy examines the ways in which societies distribute resources and develop services to meet individual and social needs. Key social policy issues examined include poverty economic, race, age and gender inequality social justice health education criminal justice and housing. It utilises a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods to improve our understanding of how societies organise their resources to meet individual and social needs and how they measure progress in these areas.
