Social science is a field of study that looks in-depth at human behaviour and how it influences the way that we structure our lives. Many different topics integrate within this branch of learning. Social science relates to sectors such as politics, social work, economics and psychology.

Should you aspire to work in this field but lack qualifications to gain entry to university an Access to HE Diploma could help. Access to HE Diplomas are equivalent to A Level study but unlike A Levels, you don’t need multiple courses. This means you’re able to get qualified and apply to university after just one course.

Although the overwhelming majority of universities accept the Access to Higher Education Diplomas, some do not. Always double-check before enrolling to make sure you’re meeting the entry requirements of your desired institute.
