What the college says

Studying Sociology will encourage you to look at the world in a more critical way and question why society functions in the way that it does. Powerful knowledge in Sociology equips you with an understanding of the inequalities and power balances that exist in society, and the skills to understand and debate a wide range of issues. The Sociology curriculum offers a key focus on society in the UK today looking back to how society has arrived at its current position, and suggesting how it may continue to evolve. Sociology is aimed to encourage you to question your beliefs about society that you may have previously taken for granted. Sociology is about your life and the work around you. It is a subject that you will have experience of and one that will help you to understand many aspects of your future. Good Sociologists are open-minded, able to analyse information and see things from more than one point of view. Sociology aims to develop skills of critical thinking, independent review and extended essay writing offering you the full package to be able to successfully transition to higher education and beyond.
