Student review [#23488] for Social Sciences
at King's College London

I am a first-year student at Kings College London studying Social Sciences. While getting into this fairly new course at KCL that began just 3 years ago, I was unsure about what experiences I would have. The Social Sciences course offered a multitude of real-life applications to daily lectures, broadening my spectrum not only as a student but as a well-informed individual of society. Furthermore, in this course, we have optional modules such as the work placement module that offer students an experience to do some groundwork correlating to the things we study.

With all of the fantastic aspects of this course, there are still a few improvements I could foresee. This includes the assignment we are made to do. Our assignments are focused on a ton of readings and writing essays. While that may prove to be extremely helpful, as a student, I would have liked more group assignments and other forms of writing.

All in all, the course does provide helpful resources for further education or career options such as the obvious, becoming a social scientist, and a foundation for careers such as journalism, law, and more. I would highly recommend studying this course.
