Sociology is the study of how people shape and are shaped by the world they live in and their relations with others. As an established discipline, Sociology draws on evidence to promote a critical understanding and active engagement in society, informing interventions that address social issues locally, nationally and globally. As a result, Sociology graduates are well-prepared for, and make a significant contribution to, a wide and diverse range of roles across the private, public and voluntary sectors. As a core social science discipline, Sociology is concerned with the social world, and the social dimensions of human and non-human interactions. It combines theoretical and evidence-based approaches, with students learning to apply and assess theories and methods in the discipline. Through forming and articulating evidence-based arguments, students can develop the critical skills necessary for analysing complex social issues.
