About Social Studies (Double Major)

Social Studies (Double Major) is an interdisciplinary undergraduate programme that equips students with deep knowledge across two core social science fields, typically combining subjects such as Economics, Geography, History, Political Science, or Sociology. Students examine human behaviour, societal structures, governance systems, environmental relationships, and historical contexts, developing strong analytical, research, and critical thinking skills applicable across diverse sectors. The double major structure broadens career options considerably, preparing graduates for roles in education, policy research, community development, and public administration. Many graduates pursue teaching careers at secondary and tertiary levels, qualifying through the Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN). Others find rewarding paths in civil service, non-governmental organisations, and development consulting, where understanding society's complexities is professionally indispensable.
