Social Sciences

If you have a passion for understanding human behaviour – such as crime, memory, and mental health – then social sciences is the perfect choice for you.

These qualifications balance theoretical and practical study, giving you the tools and knowledge to succeed in this rewarding sector. Some of the units that you’ll study across the various courses on offer include psychological theory, crime scene assessment, criminological theory, and educational policy.

You can select a number of courses which will enable you to build a study programme that suits your interests or the career you want. This could include psychology, criminology, public services, education, mental health, and counselling. Social sciences courses would suit individuals who are interested in pursuing careers in teaching, social work, speech and language therapy, counselling, educational psychology, marketing, psychology, youth offending, and many other careers. Once you’ve completed your course, you could consider progressing onto higher education at University Centre South Devon or another university.
