Social Sciences & Economics

Social-science students need to balance intellectual fit with outcome realism, because the long-term return differs greatly by country and city.

Ranking lens

Here, subject ranking should be treated as useful context, not as the only truth. Cost, language, and work route matter heavily.

Watch-out

A strong academic experience can still be a poor migration or work decision if the employment market is narrow for international graduates.

Family question

Is this social-science degree worth the cost when we look at work reality, not just academic quality?

This track page is the simplified consumer layer. Underneath it, the app can still treat BBA and MBA differently, or weigh engineering very differently from humanities, without making the first experience feel heavy.
