What the college says

Studying Sociology will help you understand your own experiences and those of others, encouraging you to look at issues from different perspectives before moving towards an informed view. This course covers theories and research relating to family, education, science, beliefs, crime and deviance. The course combines well with Health & Social Care, Psychology and Philosophy.
