Course summary

Sociology is an exciting subject which helps you to answer questions like: Why do we have to go to school? Why do we live in families? What are the benefits of religion? Why do some people commit crime? Sociology will make you question things you may have taken for granted. Sociology helps you develop analytical, critical ways of thinking, beneficial across many subjects. You will develop your essay writing and verbal communication skills. You need an open mind and to be keen to see things from different viewpoints. An interest in the world we live in is vital, as is an interest in people, their actions and interactions.
