What it is	Social Work teaches you how to help people and communities facing challenges like poverty, abuse, mental health issues, and inequality. A direct-entry program means you start in social work courses from year one, rather than taking general studies first. Co-op lets you alternate between classes and paid work at social agencies, hospitals, or nonprofits, so you graduate with real experience alongside your degree. This suits people who want hands-on learning, are drawn to supporting vulnerable people, and prefer to test their career choice in the field while studying.	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.	Financial Mathematics and Economics is a mathematics-based degree that combines the study of economic systems and financial markets with advanced math and statistics. Unlike a pure economics or pure mathematics program, it trains you to use mathematical models and analysis to solve real-world problems in finance and economics. It suits students who want rigorous quantitative training and are interested in how money, markets, and economies actually work.
