What the college says

Who is the 'typical' criminal? Why do some groups underachieve at school. How have the roles of men and women changed in the family? If you are interested in such fascinating questions then Sociology maybe the subject for you. What is the course about? Sociology is the study of society and human behaviour. In particular, Sociologists look at how these key institutions, such as the family, school or media shape our individual beliefs and values. As members of society, you come to the course with attitudes and values, having taken part in social interaction with friends, family and strangers. This means that you already have some insight into the subject. Topics covered in this course include: ● The Sociology of Families and Households ● The Sociology of Education ● The Sociology of Crime and Deviance ● The Sociology of Beliefs ● Research Methods and Sociological Theory
