Our Social Sciences courses offer a flexible and engaging path to understanding society and human behaviour. Whether you're just beginning your academic journey or looking to deepen your expertise, our courses allow you to progress from foundational qualifications to an honours degree.

Through our courses you will:

  • develop a deep understanding of the social forces shaping our world
  • explore a rich blend of disciplines including sociology, psychology and politics while gaining insights into how societies function and how individuals interact within them
  • leave with the knowledge and skills needed for a wide range of careers from public service and education to journalism to social work and beyond

It's safe to say I would not have the confidence I have today without the support of the team here at Moray College UHI who continue to go above and beyond for their students, time and time again. I think it's truly special that a student can start at an entry level course and leave with a PhD or MBA, not many education providers could say the same.
