What the college says

Sociologists are interested in patterns of behaviour that are learned. We are brought up to behave in certain ways by our parents, teachers and society as a whole. Sociologists are interested in contemporary society; what goes on within social groups, from the smallest, such as the family or friendship groups, through to large societies. Sociologists ask questions that some people feel uncomfortable about and suggest answers that some people, especially those in authority, feel threatened by. As a result, it can 'make people angry or surprised or intrigued or transformed - or even reassured' Abercrombie 2004. Study sociology if you want an enhanced understanding of the world and a broader outlook on life. Discover how different groups think and behave via social research - if you like asking questions and are interested in social issues then sociology may be for you If your study of sociology gives a 'different meaning to the cosy everyday world' around you, it will have succeeded. Sociology is a good choice for a range of students with different aims; those who want a subject to combine with other humanities A Level subjects, or those science specialists who want a contrasting subject to their other A Level choices in order to demonstrate a wider breadth of knowledge and skills.
