The Diploma in Social Science is a one year evening programme designed specifically to allow students to apply their enhanced skill set in a variety of areas of work, especially in the public sector, including social care, social work, community youth work, and community development work.

Whether you wish to pursue a general interest in the social sciences or are seeking an introduction to studying within the multidisciplinary field of the social sciences, the Diploma in Social Science is the programme for you.

By successfully completing the programme you will develop analytical competence allowing you to undertake further undergraduate study. Students complete two core modules from the BA (Hons) Social Science degree in DBS School of Arts and explore their own learning in a manner that allows them to exit, if they wish, after a year of study with a DBS diploma or continue as a part-time Social Science student on the BA (Hons) Social Science (to progress to the degree programme students must meet minimum entry requirements for modular students).

Learning and teaching methods that are utilised  during the course of study include lectures, seminars, tutorials and workshops. Classes begin on the 22^nd January and we are now accepting final applications.
