What the college says

Sociology is a popular course that builds upon the interest students will have developed in their core subjects and their observations of life. It involves the study of society and the structures within it, for example the education system, families & households, crime, and the impact of the media on society. The course aims to enable students to reflect on their own experience of the social world in which they live. This will include developing skills that will enhance their ability to participate more effectively in adult life, appreciating the significance of theoretical and conceptual issues in sociological debate, understanding sociological methodology, as well as acquiring knowledge and critical understanding of contemporary social processes and structures, for instance gender and class conflict in society.
