What it is	Financial Science combines mathematics, statistics, and economics to understand how money moves through markets and institutions. Unlike a general business degree, it focuses specifically on quantitative analysis and modeling of financial systems rather than broad management skills. It suits students who enjoy working with numbers and want to understand the mechanics behind investments, risk, and financial decision-making.	You enter this program without committing to a specific major, taking first-year courses across subjects like English, history, psychology, philosophy, and sociology. This gives you time to explore different areas of arts study before declaring a focus at the end of year one, rather than applying directly to a named program. It suits students who are interested in humanities and social sciences but unsure which direction fits them best.	A social sciences degree at King's combines the study of people, societies, and human behaviour through subjects like history, politics, economics, psychology, and sociology. You choose a major or specialization within one of these fields — for example, criminology, social work, or economics — and develop deep knowledge in that area while taking supporting courses across the social sciences. This program suits students curious about how societies work, why people act as they do, and what shapes institutions and policy.
