Literacy Sociology Wordbank

Social Science Department

The social sciences department consists of sociology and psychology; both are very successful subjects that are always very popular with students.  If you have an interest in people and the society you live in, then these subjects are for you! 

Sociology

If you have questions about society for example: why do we live in families? What affect does divorce have on children? Why do mostly women cook dinner?  Is the education system right for me? Who decides? Why do less people go to church? If you want to know more then sociology is just for you!  
 

Psychology

During AS year students study a wide range of topics within psychology including social relationships, memory and whether we can teach chimpanzees to communicate with us! It is an interesting course that challenges the way you look at the world around you.  The second year area for example: why some people turn into criminals? How effective is a jury in a court of law? Do offender profiles work? Are murders born to murder or is it the environment? 

Many of our social science students love these subjects so much; they go on to study them at university!  Develop fulfilling careers based in social sciences ranging from psychologists, nurses to playgroup leaders.
