Sociology is the study of society. It is about all kinds of social relationships that people share with each other in their families, schools and work. The methods developed by Sociologists are used in other academic areas such as market research and management studies. You will study all varieties of human experience. Social theory is also important in Sociology. It teaches us that there are no right or wrong answers when it comes to studying the way people live together. What is important for a Sociologist is the ability to evaluate evidence and choose between possible explanations. You will enjoy Sociology if you are the type of person who is not afraid to have new ideas and are willing to work at a demanding pace.

The course is assessed by three exams at the end of your 2nd year. Paper 1 – Education and Theory & Methods, Paper 2 – Family and Religious Beliefs and Paper 3 – Crime & Deviance and Theory & Methods
