What the college says
Sociology is the study of human social relationships, social change and the social causes and consequenes of human behaviour. For sociologists, the lives of individuals can only be understood through studying the wider social context in which we live. Sociology's subject matter is diverse; we will look at topics ranging from crime to religion, the family to education, from divisions of race, social class and gender to the shared beliefs of a common culture. Sociology is an exciting, relevant and interesting subject that will enable you to have a better understanding of the world you live in.
