What the college says

Studying Sociology gives you the opportunity to gain an understanding of the world around you and to reflect on social issues that relate to you. Sociology studies society, how it is changing and how it can be improved. It examines the ways we learn to fit in into society and what happens if we don't. Sociologists are interested in the experience of different social groups related to gender, ethnicity, social class and age and how these factors may be related to issues of both identity and inequality. There are lots of different sociological explanations for these matters and you will get the chance to think about which ones make most sense to you. You will also learn about the research methods that sociologists use. Bringing your own experience of society to your studies is an important way of developing your understanding.
