What the college says

Sociology entails the study of human society. Sociology explores the way that individuals influence society and how society shapes individuals. Sociology looks at factors such as social class, ethnicity and gender and the impact of these on our life chances. Sociology is topical and political. You will explore contemporary issues such as changing patterns in crime and deviance and fundamentalism. It also investigates social areas such as Education, The Family, Power and Politics, Crime and Deviance, Poverty, The Media, Religion and Research Methods. Sociology causes debates. Taken for granted assumptions are investigated and challenged. The study of Sociology leads to the understanding of complex issues and it is a good basis for university level study in all disciplines. This course requires a hungry mind and a desire to want to get beneath the headlines that often shape our opinions.
