Social Studies

Social studies is a fascinating area to study and work within. If you are curious about people, behaviours and the world around you these courses are perfect.

Our short courses build introductory level skills in areas such as psychology, criminology, and sociology which you can explore from across the subjects. We can then support you to progress onto our Pre-Access and Access to Higher Education offer which will give you the qualifications and skills to apply for university.

Fabulous college. Very professional staff. Spectacular residential accommodation. I feel very safe there.

The staff and tutors are amazing and can give you the confidence to achieve your goals. Cannot recommend this place enough.

Northern College did and still is changing my life; it changes people too. It opens your mind to your dreams, and makes them a reality.
