Course overview

The Diploma of Higher Education in Social Sciences is offered by the City of Glasgow College, in association with the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow.

It is equivalent to the first two years of an Honours Degree at the University of Strathclyde and therefore allows you to apply for direct entry to the third year of the BA Politics and/or History Degree.

In the first year you'll study History, Politics, Economics and Sociology and in the second year Politics and History only. Please note that there is no psychology in this degree.
