But if you really want to subdivide business and computer science, you will find that the subdivision majors they include are not very wide, but social science covers a wide range of disciplines.
One
What is Social Science?
The field of social sciences is a branch of science used to study society and the relationship between people in society, and because it is related to human beings, it can involve a very wide range, including media, education, law, politics, sociology, etc.
This is just a few days ago, QS Rankings released the 2024 World University Rankings by Subject, and the data includes a ranking of institutions specifically for the sub-branch of social sciences and management.
However, it should be noted that the QS ranking combines social sciences with some business subjects, including marketing, accounting and finance, business and management, etc. In a certain aspect, these activities are also likely to be involved in society and the people in society, so it is not impossible to include them.
Then everyone must be very curious about which universities are ranked higher in this list of social sciences and management?
Come on, come on, Dr. Uoffer will help you sort it out.
United Kingdom
The UK has three institutions in the top 10 of the list, namely the University of Oxford, the University of Cambridge and the London School of Economics and Political Science.
Oxford
As we all know, among the two prestigious universities of Oxford and Cambridge, Oxford's social science majors are better than Cambridge, so the Oxford social science branch includes a wide range of departments, such as anthropology, archaeology, economics, education, geography and environment, international development, law, politics and international relations, business and sociology.
It is not difficult to find that business is listed in the social sciences in the field branch of the school, which is also more consistent with the division of social sciences in QS.

University of Cambridge
Although Cambridge's advantage lies in the field of science and engineering, it is a famous university in the world after all, and although other majors will be slightly different from those of famous schools, they are also very good overall.
The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences encompasses a wide range of disciplines, such as archaeology, economics, education, history, history and philosophy of science, law, criminology, political and international studies, anthropology, and sociology.

London School of Economics and Political Science
It is not surprising that LSE was able to make the list, after all, the school was originally a school that focused on social science fields such as economics and politics, and it is also the only university in the G5 to make the list with partial subjects.
Many of the departments offered by the institute are in social science-related fields, such as anthropology, economics, finance, gender studies, geography and environmental studies, health policy, international development, linguistics, management, media and communication, psychological and behavioral sciences, public policy, social policy, sociology, etc.

Singapore
The two universities in Singapore are ranked higher in the new country, with a good ranking of 14 in the world. The Faculty of Social Sciences is one of the oldest in NUS, with a wide range of faculties and programs.
In fact, the college has three sub-divisions, namely Social Sciences, Literature, and Asian Studies. One of the more distinctive is Asian Studies, because Singapore is a multi-racial country, and most of the foreign population comes from Asia and Southeast Asia, so its School of Social Sciences has set up related majors for these regions, such as Chinese Studies, Japanese Studies, Malay Social and Cultural Studies, Southeast Asian Studies and South Asian Studies.
Of course, the school's School of Social Sciences also offers other common social science majors, such as media, economics, English literature, history, philosophy, political science, psychology, sociology, etc.
Hong Kong, China
The University of Hong Kong is the highest ranked of the eight universities in Hong Kong, ranking 32nd in the world. The Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) is an influential school in Asia and the world, with a long history and deep academic research.
The Faculty of Social Sciences is made up of five departments: Geography, Politics and Public Administration, Psychology, Sociology, and Social Work and Social Administration.

Australia
Among several universities in Australia, the University of Melbourne is ranked highly, with a good score of 25th in the world. The University of Melbourne's social sciences programme is offered under the Faculty of Humanities, which is arguably one of Australia's oldest and most well-known social sciences institutions. There are a number of sub-schools and research centers, and students can choose to study psychology, political science, sociology and many other majors.
If you can graduate from these universities in the field of social sciences, the employment prospects are very broad, after all, the career center of each school will provide some job fairs and industry information sessions during the study period, and students can learn about relevant information drops through this opportunity.
After graduating and having the endorsement of the university, you can work in many private companies related to your major, such as education, public relations, culture and arts management, business and other fields.
Of course, you can also return to China to engage in relevant social work or management service work in the government, public institutions, and party and government departments at all levels~
