If you are fascinated by the behaviour of others and why we act the way we do, then Sociology is for you. In today’s rapidly changing world, different cultures collide and combine in ways that create new social structures. Sociology seeks to understand all aspects of human social behaviour and social dynamics from small groups of people to large organisations and communities, from institutions to whole societies. Sociologists are motivated by a desire to better understand the fundamental principles of social life, believing that an understanding of these principles will help improve people’s lives. Through the study of Sociology you will discover how to investigate these kinds of questions and begin to understand more about your motivations and behaviours, gaining a wide range of valuable skills that can be applied to almost any career. In Year One students study the Sociology of Education, Families and Households, and also a grounding in Sociology Theory and Methods. In Year Two the study of Theory and Methods is extended, and the main topics of study are Crime & Deviance and Beliefs in Society.
