What the college says

Ever wondered how we developed into the society we are today? How the way you see yourself determines the way people identify you? Whether men or women are more likely to commit a crime?Studying Sociology offers insights into social and cultural issues. It helps you develop a multi-perspective and critical approach to understanding issues around culture, identity, religion, crime, families and social power. More than once during the course students are bound to ask the question, ?Why has society developed like this? With poverty, ignorance, crime and injustice.? Students will learn a number of skills including the use of evidence to support their arguments, how to investigate facts, and critical thinking.
