Abstract

Introduction: The aim of this research is to compare the academic offer in the bachelor’s and double Bachelor's Degrees in Sociology, Political Science and Social Work in the Public Universities of Andalusia and Catalonia, selected because they are the autonomous communities with the largest number of public universities in Spain and, in addition, they have more than 450,000 students. Methodology, the universe is made up of 17 public universities in Andalusia and Catalonia, while the sample is made up of 13 universities. The variables analyses were: the number of places available for new students, the cut-off mark in the first year, first enrolment fees, and the compulsory nature of external internships, among others. Results: the high level of first registration fees in Catalan universities compared to Andalusian universities and the greater academic offer of double degrees in Sociology, Political Science and Social Work combined with other degrees in the field of Social Sciences in Andalusian universities. The degree in Social Work, with 906 new entry places, is the leader in Andalusian Universities. The Universities of Catalonia offer a total of 295 new places for the bachelor’s degree in Political Science, in contrast to the 135 places offered by the Universities of Andalusia. Conclusions: The study reveals that Catalan universities have higher first-year registrations compared to Andalusian universities, while Andalusian universities offer a greater variety of double degrees.
