Social Sciences
Are you curious about how society works and how and why people interact with one another in the way they do? If the answer is yes, then social sciences is for you! You will gain a broad range of transferable skills across our social sciences and humanities subjects preparing you for a variety of employment opportunities – find your future here!
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.
