What the college says

Sociology gives a strong academic basis for large number of university courses. It provides students with the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the world around them and reflect on social issues that are often relevant to their own social experiences. It opens up the possibility for deep investigations into discussion such as 'What impact do digital forms of communication have on social media?', 'How do sociologists investigate inequality in society?' and 'What are the patterns and trends of religion in relation to social class?'
