Studying Sociology is both challenging and exciting. We will give you opportunities to think critically about the world around you, to develop your analytical skills, and to build an appreciation of the complexity and diversity of social life. You will study four major areas of social life: families and households, education, crime and deviance, and beliefs in society, as well as developing an understanding and appreciation of different sociological theories and research methods. Your studies will cover a variety of questions surrounding social life, including how does society have different views on childhood? Why are girls outperforming boys at school? How does religion affect the structure of society? What is the media’s role in creating moral panics about child killers? These topics will help you to develop a critical awareness of how the world really operates.
