Sociology is the study of human social life, groups and societies. It is a dazzling and compelling enterprise, having as its subject matter our own behaviour as social beings. The scope of Sociology is extremely wide, ranging from the analysis of passing encounters between individuals in the street, up to the investigation of world wide social processes. Anthony Giddens (Sociology, 1989). Sociology will prepare you for careers that centre on the challenges and demands that members of a society face. This leads to jobs in social services, education, criminal justice, welfare services, government, counselling, charities and the voluntary sector. They include charity fundraiser, community development worker, counsellor, lecturer, housing officer, teacher, probation officer, social researcher, social worker and welfare rights adviser. There are also wider transferable skills that you can develop including the ability to judge and evaluate evidence, understanding the complexity and diversity of situations, including organizations themselves, collecting information and making reasoned and logical arguments. Sociology students will also develop a wider set of transferable skills like team working, verbal communication skills, showing initiative, and being able to work in a way that is supportive of equality and diversity in the workplace.
