Sociology

Sociology is the study of Society and the way in which it operates. It looks at the various differing perspectives on the relationship between society and individuals, and then uses these perspectives to investigate elements of society. If you have an open mind and are interested in the way in which people interact then this course would suit you.

You will gain an insight into the world and a realisation that few things in life have right or wrong answers, just different views. The course requires a lot of written work. Students with a wide knowledge tend to do well, especially with those with an understanding of the other social sciences.

Sociology fits well with other social sciences, such as Economics, Psychology, History or Politics, as well as Humanities such as Geography and RE.
