Sociology
Study how groups, institutions and social structures shape everyday life — and build a more systematic way of analysing society and change.
Three academic levels.
Sociology looks beyond individuals to the structures and relationships around them.
The field examines groups, institutions, social patterns and change. It provides a framework for analysing how personal experience connects with wider social contexts.
Relationships, communities & identity
Examine how people form groups, social ties and shared patterns of behaviour.
Work, education & social structures
Look at how institutions organise roles, opportunities and everyday experience.
Inequality, transformation & society
Study how social structures shift over time and how those changes affect different groups.
