Social Sciences

Within our School, both students and staff are genuinely interested in making a difference. We don’t just explore how society works but whether we can make it better. Our research looks into some of the most challenging issues of the day, from tackling crime and drug addiction to bringing about a fairer society. At Kent, you can really start to explore what kind of contribution you can make. One thing you can be sure of, our academics will support you all the way through your studies. They will challenge you to become a creative thinker, with your own opinions and ideas, and help you to develop useful skills for your future career.
