What the college says

Students will be encouraged to reflect on their own experiences of the social world in which they live, to challenge their own assumptions about this world and to develop an understanding of the forces and structures that affect their lives. As such, you should be prepared to argue and debate social issues in a mature learning environment. Sociology looks at how society works, how different parts of society influence each other, how people?s ideas and social behaviour are influenced by the society in which they live and how people can influence and change society. The study of Sociology provides many opportunities for students to acquire a knowledge and critical understanding of contemporary society, through issues such as crime and deviance, education, families and households, religion and ideology.
