The FlexiMasters of Social Sciences offer students not only a critical perspective on a range of social issues but also the methodological tools to comprehend them. The courses will take a multidisciplinary approach to examining themes such as governance, economy, health and social inequality, exploring these subjects from a global and local perspective. Students will approach these subjects from the vantage point of economics, psychology, sociology and public policy. 

The FlexiMasters also provide courses on social science methods, both quantitative and qualitative, to give students insights into how social scientists do research.
