This course allows you to study Sociology as part of a joint honours degree (50% Sociology, 50% Childhood Studies and Youth).<br><br>Sociology investigates social life and the way it shapes people's behaviour, beliefs and identity. Its subject matter ranges from examination of the face-to-face interactions of daily life to large-scale social institutions, social movements and global processes. By understanding the social world, we gain a better understanding of ourselves and our own social situations. For the Childhood and Youth part of the course, you will follow innovative topics led by experienced education staff to develop your understanding of the history of childhood, children’s rights, the nature of childhood and the role of adults working with children in a national, European and international context. You’ll engage in academic study in the fields of psychology, sociology, social policy, education, health and welfare relating to children’s lives.CareersThe multi-disciplinary approach of the Childhood and Youth Studies and Sociology degree offers a broad range of career choices in education and allied professions in the public and private sector, including health, social care, youth and community work. Alternately, some students continue their studies on a Masters programme or apply for a place on a PGCE Primary course. The study of sociology provides a sound foundation for a wide range of careers in the media, administration, personnel, teaching, and community and social work. The combination of the two disciplines, supported by opportunities to work alongside employers and service providers, will ensure that you are ready to excel and lead workforces centred on provision for children and young people as a result of your study and experiences on this combined course.
