Studying the social sciences will give you the opportunity to learn a range of theories, reflecting on your own thoughts, actions, and interactions with organisations around you. Throughout the course, you will develop the confidence to summarise research, interpret key findings, and most importantly, relate ideas to important issues that concern us on an everyday basis.
For the 2022/23 academic year, we will be offering a mix of course modes with some courses remaining on Zoom, but some now being offered back in the classroom.
Please ensure when you make a booking for a course that the mode of delivery meets with personal requirements - each course is only offered via one delivery mode.
For those courses in the classroom, we would kindly ask all learners to respect the preferences of their fellow learners with regard to the University of York Covid-19 Community Charter. Our ability to return to face-to-face teaching will remain dependent on wider national events, so we may need to retain a degree of flexibility.
Students signing up to work towards a Certificate of Higher Education should bear in mind that for future terms they may need to attend courses in York, in person.
Progression to the Department of Sociology
Upon completion of 60 credits it may be possible for students to progress to the Department of Sociology for undergraduate study.
The following gives an indication of what the department would be looking for:
- For first year entry: 60 credits from Lifelong Learning with good marks. Students would need to apply via UCAS, by January each year.
