Access to Social Science
Access to Social Science is a program designed to provide students with the skills, knowledge, and qualifications required to progress to a degree in social science or related fields. The program is specifically aimed at individuals who do not have the traditional qualifications required for university entry, such as A-levels or equivalent.
The Access to Social Science course covers a range of subjects, including sociology, psychology, politics, history, and economics. It also includes modules on research methods, critical thinking, and communication skills.
Upon completion of the Access to Social Science program, students can apply for a degree in social science or related fields at a university. Social science is a broad field that studies human behaviour, social relations, and institutions, as well as the underlying social, economic, and political systems. Graduates of this degree program can go on to work in a variety of settings, including government, non-governmental organisations, research institutions, education, and private sector. They may also work in industries that require knowledge of human behaviour, such as marketing, advertising, and public relations.
