Sociology is one of the broadest of the social science disciplines.
It is basically concerned to understand how societies work and why they change. Inevitably, a subject that attempts to understand these changes and to analyse their implications covers a broad sweep of human behaviour. Sociology is a highly rewarding and challenging subject to study at university level, as well as one of great relevance. In its combination of breadth and depth, the Sussex degree is quite distinctive in Britain. The Sociology BA is offered in three different Schools of Studies.
