A friend of mine did Socio and Maths and is now doing something in the line of accountings/ finance. He did do econ besides socio and maths btw.

There are a whole range of Social Science courses open to you and there are some offered with 'quantitative' or 'data' etc that is a very useable degree. There are also degrees that combine a range of different Humanities / Social Science subjects - look for Liberal Arts, Combined Honours, Flexible Honours etc. The available subject combos will be different at each Uni

A wide range of subjects at Sussex Uni with different variants /joint subjects under each subject heading - https://www.sussex.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/.
Combined Honours at Newcastle - https://www.ncl.ac.uk/school-x/study/combined-honours/
Liberal Arts at Durham - https://www.durham.ac.uk/departments/academic/liberal-arts/
Subjects "with quantitative research methods" at Bristol - http://www.bristol.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/2024/quantitative-research-methods/
Sociology with Data Science at Essex - https://www.essex.ac.uk/courses/ug01336/1/bsc-sociology-with-data-science
Maths and Philosophy is a common joint subject degree - https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/undergraduate/courses/2024/mathematics-and-philosophy-bsc

Hi @sads12

I did A-levels in Philosophy and Psychology and I now study Educational Psychology. Here are some courses which I feel may fit your interests :smile:

You may be interested in the Sociology and social sciences courses offered at Edge Hill. This includes courses such as Sociology, Criminology and Sociology, and Early childhood studies and Sociology, as well as many other options.

If you wanted to go down the maths route you could also consider doing a course in Education and Mathematics.

I would recommend reflecting on what parts of your current courses you are particularly enjoying or are passionate about and leaning into that. You could also consider what kinds of career you would enjoy and attend course presentations at Open Days for the universities you are considering, to ensure that the course you are picking is defiantly what you want to study and that you will enjoy it. It is so hard choosing what it is you want to study, make sure you take your time and do what is right for you.

The philosophy courses at Sheffield are very popular, some of my friends who did similar A Levels studies philosophy and then went on to do masters degrees or teacher training.
Do you have any idea what kind of work you want to go into afterwards? Or what style of learning you prefer? this may help to narrow down your options.
