Sociology is the study of social life and our place within it, offering insights that have long guided government policies, industries, and efforts to challenge inequalities.<br/><br/>On this course, you’ll explore human connections and relationships, examining how social structures like class, race, and gender shape behaviour. Youll tackle pressing issues such as poverty, sexism, austerity, immigration, privacy, and social unrest, gaining a deep understanding of cultural and everyday life.<br/><br/>In today’s rapidly changing world, societies are grappling with crises that demand careful analysis. From the cost of living crisis in the UK to global environmental challenges and international conflicts, many communities are facing significant shifts—sometimes becoming unaffordable or uninhabitable. At the same time, digital technologies are fostering unprecedented connections, and cultural changes are empowering individuals to express identities once suppressed or even criminalised. As a Sociology student, you’ll study these historical and contemporary changes, understanding their impact on society and how they can drive major social transformations.
