The study of sociology aims to explore the contemporary and relevant issues which make up our society. Sociology looks into how we create and manipulate the world around us, and how society also moulds us. Sociologists wish to understand why we behave in the way we do and explore the ways different social groups relate and why they might have different life chances. It is a theory based subject, grounded in research and evidence which as a sociology student will engage and challenge your beliefs and opinions of modern society.
