The study of society and culture is fundamental for the social sciences. The sociology major assists students to develop a high level of critical skills coupled with a rounded understanding of society and culture. It provides students with conceptual and analytical tools, which will enable them to respond in an informed and confident manner to contemporary and future social events. This major assists students to push beyond common-sense understandings of the social world they live in to make their knowledge more informed, more reasoned and more critical. It examines social organisation and social change on a larger scale and aims to develop an understanding of social order and social structure, both historically and in the contemporary world.
