What the college says

Sociology is the study of how society is organised and how we experience life. The subject has formed the basis of ground breaking research in major social issues such as poverty and crime. Many sociological ideas, such as ‘moral panic’ and charisma, are now in everyday use and the subject raises many questions concerning how people live their lives, such as ‘how important is the job that you do for your sense of self and your future” or, “Are national governments able to ensure that most people have a job and will they be supported with health and social care when they need it?” The subject explores a wide range of issues, including education, the changing roles of women in society, how national statistics are used and how sociologists conduct meaningful research.
