Popular Undergraduate Social Science Courses to Study Abroad

Studying social sciences abroad offers a unique opportunity for Indian students to study human behaviour and social structures. Some of the popular undergraduate courses include economics, sociology, political science and anthropology. Such courses not only broaden academic horizons but also foster intercultural understanding and critical thinking.

Social Science has always offered ways to decipher complex problems to better understand human society. Different subjects offer understanding on different levels. Some offer an in-depth understanding of a particular field, while others offer a broader understanding of the relationship between humans and society.

Here are the top favourite Social Science subjects among Indian students to pursue from abroad -

• Economics – an undergraduate degree in economics may be a B.A. or B.Sc. from abroad, depending on the teaching methods used. This degree mixes theories with empirical investigations using the help of statistical methods. Economics helps you understand how the resources around the world are used and distributed among individuals.
• Law – If your aim in life is to be a practising solicitor or barrister, you need to start with an undergraduate degree in Law and follow it up with further law studies. You will learn how to tackle some of the hardest-to-resolve conflicts and issues in modern society and morality.
• Psychology—Increasingly, many Indian students are looking to pursue psychology studies abroad. The reason is that the course structure abroad encourages the students to think for themselves and be critical. After finishing your psychology studies, career options include leadership development professional, life coach, psychologist, therapist, etc.
