Course summary

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 understand more about yourself, others and how 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.This optional placement year provides you with the opportunity to identify, apply for and secure professional experience, normally comprising one to three placements over a minimum of nine months. Successful completion of this module will demonstrate your ability to secure and sustain graduate-level employment.
