Message from the Associate Dean
Welcome to the Faculty of Social Science at Western University! As Associate Dean Undergraduate Students and Programs, I am delighted to welcome you to one of the most diverse and dynamic academic communities on campus.
Our Faculty is home to nine departments and interdisciplinary programs, each offering unique perspectives and approaches to understanding society, human behaviour, and global issues, while also providing you with the skills and tools to make an impact once you graduate and leave Western.
Beyond the classroom, we offer a wide range of opportunities to enrich your undergraduate experience:
- Experiential learning through community-based research, internships, and field courses.
- International exchanges and study abroad programs to broaden your global perspective.
- Undergraduate research opportunities that allow you to work alongside faculty on cutting-edge projects.
- Student clubs and academic societies that foster leadership, collaboration, and networking.
- Career development support through workshops, mentorship, and connections with alumni.
We’re especially excited to introduce our new Co-op Program, designed to give students hands-on, paid work experience related to their field of study, while also earning credits toward your degree. This program allows students to apply classroom learning in real-world settings, build professional networks, and gain valuable skills that enhance career readiness. Co-op placements are available across a variety of sectors, including government, non-profits, research, and private industry.
Whether you're just beginning your academic journey or preparing for graduation, we are here to support your success and help you make the most of your time in Social Science.
