Family Sciences is an academic field that studies the concept of family. Family Sciences draw upon concepts from Sociology and Psychology in order to gain understanding of family dynamics and interpersonal relationships within families. The main aim of Family Sciences is to view and analyze families from all kinds of perspectives - historical, cultural, economic, political, clinical, legal and sociological. Students in Family sciences can expect to be taught a variety of subjects and topics, most commonly including theoretical disciplines like Applied Family Sciences, Family Psychology, Sociology of the Family, Politics, Law and Economics of the Family, Family and Migration, and practice-oriented modules like Social Research and Scientific Work. A degree course in Family Sciences provides students with in-depth understanding of family development, behavior and structures, as well as social issues concerning families. During their studies, students in Family Sciences develop valuable professional skills, such as leadership, consulting, analytical thinking, problem solving and decision making. Family Sciences graduates can pursue careers in family assistance, family counseling, community services, family financial advising, family-related education and other sectors.
