Course description Students studying history and sociology will examine a variety of interesting topics across these two subject areas, whilst developing critical skills and the ability to analyse and discuss complex ideas. You will be supported in this through study skills classes and tutorials. The course will engage with contemporary debates about History and Society through a combination of lectures, seminars and group discussions. During the first year, modules will provide a broad overview of the subject areas including: Western Civilisation for the history pathway and Political Ideologies as part of your sociology course. Building on the confidence and skills developed in the first year, you will then progress to more specialised study during year two (USA in the Twentieth Century and Social Research Methods to give two examples). This will then lead to further specialism in year three, when you will also have the opportunity to study a topic of your choosing for your dissertation.
Steve Denby – BA (Hons) History and Sociology “The quality of teaching and the diversity of students, young and old, and from all walks of life makes it a great experience. The college have provided first class assistance from application, student loans and student rep information to help the mature student worried about getting back into education.”
