What the college says

Have you ever wondered… Why is divorce increasing whilst marriage is becoming less popular? Why do girls have more success than boys in the education system? What skills are required to carry out sociological research? Does violence in the media produce violent behaviour in society at large? Who commits crime and why? What impact does social media have on our mental & physical health If so, then sociology is the subject for you! Sociology explores society and the interaction between institutions and individuals. The subject attempts to explain and understand how societies and groups operate and change, how groups influence the individual, how meanings and interpretations “construct reality” and how social life is influenced by the unintended consequences of human action.
