Sociology

UPDATED 20161113 23:02:47

Sociology is about the study of societies, how they work and how they change.  You will learn how societies shape people’s ideas and behaviour and how in turn, people interact and shape their societies.  You will also have the chance to consider your own experience of the world around you and develop the knowledge and skills needed to play a part within the community. Qualities required:  Students need an open and enquiring mind, an interest in current affairs and the social issues of today. Links with other subjects: Sociology is a Social Science and therefore combines well with both Science and Arts based subjects.  For example, students have combined Maths, Chemistry and Sociology or English, History and Sociology, along with various other permutations.
