How do we choose our friends? Why do some social groups do better at school than others? What makes people commit crime? If you are interested in any of these questions then Sociology could be the perfect subject for you. Sociology is concerned with understanding the nature of society. It seeks to provide explanations about the world we live in and explain how and why we make the decisions that we do. Throughout the course, you will learn about key Sociological thinkers and consider how their views can be applied to modern day society. You will consider the rise of technology and how it has influenced how we all communicate. You will need to be able to think critically and apply your knowledge to fundamental theories about society. Sociology is assessed by 3 exams, all taken at the end of a 2 year course. Sociology gives you the opportunity to: conduct your own research, prepare and deliver presentations, debate contemporary issues and evaluate different theories about human behaviour and links to a very wide variety of degree courses or employment routes
