Why Study a Master’s in Human Society?

Do you work with local communities, young children, or people who are vulnerable and need care? This could be the ultimate postgraduate training for you…

A master’s in sociology-related subjects can take your career to the next level if you’re responsible for the wellbeing of others. For those in the early childhood sector, community development or social care, there’s nothing more important than understanding how social background affects us.

American economist and former Economic Science Laureate, George Stigler, once said: “There is only one social science, and we are its practitioners.”

Humans hold the answer navigating and improving an organised society. So knowing more about why people do what they do, and cultural and economic influences, is key.

The University of Bolton’s MSc Human Society (with specialism) course is designed to grow your expertise in working with communities, helping you make a positive impact to people’s lives.

Study a master’s that matters
