Sociology

You'll study the behaviour of people in groups and of the relationship between these groups. This balance of studying major issues of concern for society and linking this to different concepts and theories, allows you to develop important skills personally and socially.

We use a wide range of teaching methods to make the subject alive and to help you achieve your full potential from lectures and seminars to film and video. You'll be assessed in different ways so that you have a chance to show your individual strengths and abilities. You'll also be supported throughout your studies by our teaching team who are experienced, approachable and easily contacted.

Third World Development

You'll look at patterns of political, socio-economic and environmental change in less developed countries. And you'll get the opportunity to explore major themes, such as the development gap between rich and poor countries, social justice, women's rights, globalisation, democratisation and environmental impacts. Using a range of modern and historical materials, you'll also consider areas such as economics, sociology, history and geography.
