Social Sciences (Politics & Policy/Sociology & Policy/Sociology), BA Hons FullTime

One issue with the course is that there is too much amalgamation of the individual social science subjects. Losing the distinctive characteristics of each discipline in order to cut costs and save time. This can be rectified by further reading but isn't great. Teaching quality is good as lecturers aren't focused on research giving them more time with students in seminars.
