We are all exposed to so much information in our daily lives that it can be difficult to assess what is real and what is ‘fake: HNC Social Sciences is the perfect course for students who want to develop the skills to search for the truth.The course is designed to help you investigate and examine the areas of our lives that we can and cannot control: much of our social existence is influenced by forces that we do not know or understand, so this course helps you explore those factors.You will be supported to develop your critical thinking and your complex problem solving abilities by looking for creative solutions to social, political and psychological problems. You will learn how topics cross over between all of your subjects, for example, the concept of power – you will explore this from a socio-political perspective but also an historical, a criminological and a psychological perspective similarly, the concept of conformity and how this weaves into our everyday social, political and psychological behaviours.
