What it is	You study how children grow up and how society shapes their experiences, drawing on education and sociology. You'll examine childhood from multiple angles: schools, families, peer groups, and social systems. If you choose the co-op option, you'll alternate between classroom study and paid work terms with organizations serving young people, giving you practical experience alongside theory. This program suits people interested in education, child development, or social issues who want both academic understanding and workplace learning.	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.
