Q&A
James, why did you apply for Human Sciences?
"I was interested in the range of topics covered. I wanted to study subjects that had direct relevance to humans and society. I didn't have a specific focus on what I wanted to do after university but I found the idea of learning about anthropology and human behaviour within a Science focused course to be a great opportunity."
What’s your advice to students applying to Human Sciences?
"Having done the course I understand much better the key philosophy of why it existed and what you get out of studying it. An application that displayed an appreciation of the benefits of covering issues affecting humanities from a range of different academic perspectives would be very well received."
