Introduction

If you are interested in people, how they react and the institutions to which they belong, then studying a social science subject will enable to explore the society in which we live. Psychology is the scientific study of mind and behaviour, while Sociology will give you the opportunity to build your understanding of modern society and social inequality and difference.

Social sciences are particularly relevant if you think you would like to pursue a career that is people based, such as education, nursing, counselling, teaching or emergency services. You can study at GCSE, AS and A Level and an A Level qualification in either of these subjects will also provide access to a range of degree level studies. We also offer an Access course in Social Work and Crime Psychology. These subjects demonstrate to an employer that you have an enquiring mind, a sound understanding of people and society and excellent analytical, writing and mathematical skills.
