Choosing Sociology Sociology can be taken as part of a Joint Honours degree (DN500), or part time (DN501). It also forms a central part of the Bachelor of Social Science degree. Review the subjects you can study with Sociology by looking at the diagram on page 35.
Why is this subject for me? If you are interested in people, you will be interested in studying sociology – its study of society and social life seeks to explain why people act and behave the way they do. It studies the different human groups to which people belong: families, social classes, religions, neighbourhoods, nations and races. Sociologists are interested in how these groups influence what people do and say, and, at the same time, how individuals change the nature of these groups through the way they act. Sociology combines theoretical analysis and empirical research.
What will I study? First year introduces you to the works of leading sociologists and fundamental sociological concepts and techniques of enquiry. Thereafter you can choose from dozens of modules.
