How are relationships, bullying, and ‘screen time’ associated with children’s well-being? Is the ‘dark web’ responsible for increases in crime? Why do most of the top jobs in society go to pupils who have been educated at private schools and Oxbridge? Sociology is the systematic study of society and human behaviour, providing a genuine insight into the workings of our society today, confronting difficult issues of systemic inequality. Posing questions such as ‘Is Britain broken?’ ‘What is fake news?’ and ‘Is there still a glass ceiling for women in the workplace?’ Sociology is an exciting and lively subject. It encourages you to question some of how society is organised and to realise that things are not always what they seem. Sociology is a research-based subject, grounded in scientific and non-scientific methods. You will develop skills of literacy, numeracy, application, analysis, evaluation & critical thinking. You will learn quantitative and qualitative research skills. By considering the complex relationships between human action and reaction, you will be forced to engage with current affairs as an informed customer.
