    Social Sciences

    Imagine studying subjects that ask questions about the reasons why people behave as they do, explore controversial issues and delve into the more curious aspects of our world.

    If you are fascinated by the extremes of humanity and want to ask questions about what keeps society working and what makes it break down at either an individual level or as a whole, studying our Social Sciences programme could fuel your curiosity.

    Social Sciences Lecturer

    I am a dedicated and passionate educator, currently in my first year of teaching Social Sciences, including Psychology, Criminology and Sociology. I aim to inspire students to think critically about the world around them. I am thrilled to be teaching at West Lancashire College and look forward to contributing to the academic and personal growth of students during their time at the college.

    What can I do with a qualification in Social Sciences?

    Careers for this subject will be updated soon.
