Chloe Veitch
Advanced Certificate in Social Sciences
I came to study at Fife College because I have studied previously here in 2012 . My time here has been incredible , I have loved the overall experience , the lecturers and course content . Last year , I was working part time , but I decided I wanted to progress in an occupation involving politics and current affairs , therefore it seemed as though Social Science was the best decision to make .
My favourite part of the course was the sociology aspect . You study how society works , sociological theories which you can apply to some social issues within society . For example , we have been learning about poverty which is an important topic to discuss and applying these theories to the topic . As previously mentioned , it makes you see the world in colour rather than black and white . With sociology , you can go down many avenues and paths to explore why things are the way that they are .
“ My ambition for the future is to complete my HNC and HND in Social Sciences . Then I would like to progress into university and work towards a degree .”
