Sociology

Course summary

"The function of sociology, as of every science, is to reveal that which is hidden." Pierre Bourdieu We live in a world where change is possible and is happening all around us every day. Sociology asks the big questions and examines connections within society. A society in which you live. Sociology highlights the importance of understanding this society and understanding past trends of social behaviour and even predicting future ones. Nobody can deny that big changes occur in our world on an almost daily basis and a detailed study of Sociology gives us the opportunity to unpick ideas as to why societies are constantly changing and what implications this has on the rest of the world. To study sociology would prepare you for a love of learning, it would enhance your writing and study skills and give you the opportunity to explore and appreciate diversity, human behaviour, culture and social organisation. Sociology is rewarding, stimulating and gives a deeper understanding of humankind. The study of Sociology provides the nurture of a broad skill set which can be used and applied in any future career.
