Sociology with Foundation Year

About this course

Sociology is the science of society, examining how human social life is structured, how it changes over time and why it takes the forms it does. It investigates the major social divisions of class, ethnicity, gender, age and sexuality alongside the institutions of family, education, work, religion and the state, asking how these structures shape individual experience and how individuals in turn reproduce or challenge them. Sociology develops critical thinking about the world we live in, questioning what is taken for granted in media, politics and everyday life, and provides the analytical tools to investigate social problems and evaluate claims about the social world with rigour. At York St John University this four-year programme includes a foundation year, making sociology accessible to a wider range of students and providing the academic preparation needed before the main degree.
