What the college says

Who is it for? Sociology is the study of society in which we live. It examines how we are influenced and shaped through being members of groups and organisations. It concentrates on the way we make society what it is and the way society makes us what we are. It explores how the past and present have an effect on the way society and human interaction has evolved, and the difference between cultures across the globe. This course is suitable for students who are interested in how society has been shaped by human interaction and behaviour, and how it will continue to do so in the future. Where will it lead? Students who take Sociology end up in a variety of careers, particularly because of the transferable and desirable nature of the skills that are developed. This can include research, marketing, social services, education, criminal justice, welfare services, government, counselling, charities and the voluntary sector. What will I study?
