Overview

Visualise a world where there is no social science. How would we understand the complex problems that we face as a society? How would we make informed decisions about how to address these problems? Social science studies human behaviour and culture, providing us with the tools to understand and address these challenges. This course will introduce you to the major social science disciplines, including sociology, economics, anthropology, political science, linguistics, psychology, history, geography, communication, and media studies. You will learn about the different social science research methods and how to apply them to the study of real-world problems. You will also learn how to evaluate social science research and its findings critically and how to communicate effectively about social science research. By the end of this course, you will have a strong foundation in social science. You will be able to understand the complex problems that we face as a society, and you will be able to make informed decisions about how to address these challenges.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
