What the college says

Sociology is a fascinating insight into the social structures within our society. It encourages our students to assess, often critically, and evaluate the way in which our society is constructed through a range of institutions: education and schooling, the family, crime and deviance and the media. Students will learn ways in which they can view the world around them; they will be encouraged to consider the theoretical concepts behind these social structures and the obvious and hidden impacts they have on the individual. In addition to this, students will consider the moral, practical and ethical merits and limitations of how information about our society is gathered. Sociology lessons include debates, student presentations, written essay analysis and reading.
