What the college says
What is Society? How does it work? Where do people fit within society? Why do some people break the rules? And why are some people more successful than others? Have you ever considered the answers to these questions? If you have then Sociology is for you. Sociology is the study of social behaviour, its origins, development, organisation and social institutions. Studying Sociology will develop your understanding of social order, social disorder and social change, and therefore your understanding of the society and world in which we live.
