You will have specific time in your timetable for each of the three elements above and you will be expected to attend all elements throughout the year. Study programmes are designed to help you meet your maximum potential and progress to the next level of study of into work. In the first year we consider aspects of acquiring and understanding culture - concentrating on Families and Households and Education. Questions we might consider are whether mothers make better parents than fathers; and whether private education is fair. There may be an opportunity to carry out a non-assessed piece of small-scale research to gain an understanding of research methodology. The second year provides an opportunity to debate the significance of the mass media in the world today. For instance, are men and women represented in stereotypical roles? And, is there a meaningful distinction between high and low culture in contemporary British Society? The final unit looks at aspects of Crime and Deviance questioning the relevance of age, ethnicity and gender in the distribution of crime. Globalisation, green crime, human rights and state crimes are also studied and connect sociological theory with methods of collecting data.
