What the college says

Social scientists combine an interest in people and society with the desire to study them in an objective and systematic way. Sociologists are interested to find out about the different cultures and traditions. Modern sociology focuses on the study of human beings and their patterns of behaviour in groups within society such as the family, work, education, religion, social class, nationality etc. Sociology can focus on a social interaction as small scale as the way two people behave when they meet for the first time, and as large scale as national crime trends and statistics. It is a fascinating, enjoyable and fast moving subject area that also offers students an excellent introduction to how to design and carry out social research.
