What the college says

Sociology is for those of you interested in the full story behind the important issues in our society. From race and poverty, to the internet and globalisation – our society is out there and sociology can help you understand your place in it. This is a subject for anyone fascinated about the study of people, communities and places, with an interest on how the external social world affects our everyday lives – and not always for the better. Successful sociology students are inquisitive, open to looking at issues and events from multiple perspectives and can apply what they have learnt to events and issues as they occur. You will need to be able to use your knowledge to construct arguments in the essays that you write and come to informed conclusions and judgements.
