Sociology

UPDATED 20160412 11:56:43

Have you ever wondered about the full story behind the important issues in our society? How will the collapse of the UK Steel industry affect British culture in the long term? Perhaps you feel like there is more to what you read in the papers or see on TV? For instance, why is the Western World so obsessed with celebrity and not ISIS? Why are women underrepresented in politics and in the most senior positions in business? Are ethnic minorities treated differently by our media? Sociological theory helps you to become a critical thinker because it exposes you to many different ways of seeing the social world. With so much political and ethnic strife at the moment, having an informed sense as to why this is happening will help you to engage with many different kinds of people from around the world. You will develop a range of skills: communication, interpersonal, analytical, statistical, cross-cultural understanding and leadership skills. It is not surprising that a sociology qualification has become increasingly desirable to employers and universities.
