Bachelor of Social Science

Bachelor of Social Science (BSS, B.Soc.Sc., or B.Soc.Sci.) is an undergraduate academic degree that involves three to four years of study in the social sciences at an institution of higher education, the majority of which may found in the Commonwealth of Nations.

In contrast to other standard undergraduate degrees, the Bachelor of Social Science is solely focused on theory, social statistics, quantitative and qualitative social research, the philosophy of social science, and the scientific method. This allows it to be distinguished from other standard undergraduate degrees.

Anthropology, Criminology, Economics, Environmental Planning, Geography, Community Development, History, Human Ecology, Human Services, International Development, Industrial Relations, Political Science, Psychology, Demography, Public Health, Public Policy, Sustainability, Statistics, and Sociology are some of the disciplines and areas of study that are included in the Bachelor of Social Science degree programme.

In addition, it is possible to get a dual degree consisting of the Bachelor of Social Science and another bachelor's degree, such as a Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Laws, Bachelor of Education, Bachelor of Social Work, or Bachelor of Economics. An Honors degree and further postgraduate study might be beneficial to the advancement of studies and research.
