Sociology (Professional Placement Year)

Sociology is the study of societies, cultures, and groups. We live in complex societies with laws and informal rules that govern how we interact. Sociology helps you to understand more about yourself, others and the way society is organised. You’re taught about society, social groups and social organisation. You’ll learn about social problems and social policies. Learn how to make sense of social change and conflict, and gain a good understanding of social differences, inequalities and social divisions. Apply your knowledge and skills to specific problems and issues to help you become a good decision-maker.
