Offered on four campuses, namely Clydebank, Paisley and two in Greenock, this full-time certificate lasts a year and develops skills in analysis, evaluation, problem solving and communication. Students take psychology, sociology, politics and history together with an evidence-based method for examining social problems. Criminology is an extra subject taught only at Greenock.
Applicants need two Highers, one at B and one at C, including English, with a social subject preferred, or an NC in Social Sciences at level 6. An interview is held and a short piece of writing may be requested. Mature applicants may have life experience considered in place of formal qualifications.
The Paisley campus also runs a separate version arranged with the University of Glasgow for eligible widening participation applicants. After this course, students can proceed to the HND in Social Sciences or enter the first or second year of arts and social science degrees; the year of entry depends on the university and degree.
