Social Science Health & Sports

Social Science, Health and Sports Field of Study

Social Science is the anchor qualification in this field of study and is ideal for people who enjoy analysing problems, understanding groups, and exploring how people shape their surroundings. You will learn how communities develop, how organisations operate, and how research guides effective decision-making across public service, economics, and social development.

Alongside Social Science, Boston also offers qualifications in Health and Sports – each exploring health and wellbeing, performance, and behaviour from different professional perspectives. These programmes open opportunities in community wellness, and areas such as sports administration and coaching.

Together, these pathways prepare you for impactful careers in NGO/NPO environments, community initiatives, government structures, sports organisations, and businesses that value critical thinking, context, and social insight.
