Description

The Sociology Level 3 Advanced Diploma delivers a comprehensive and structured introduction to the study of society, preparing learners with essential theoretical knowledge and practical insights. Whether you're aiming for further academic study or a people-focused career, this course builds a solid foundation in sociology through eight detailed modules.

You’ll begin with the Introduction to Sociology, exploring the sociological perspective, major theories, and research methodologies. In Socialization and Social Interaction, you'll uncover how individuals develop identity and learn social roles across different stages of life.

The Social Institutions module provides deep insights into the function of family, religion, education, and the economy—demonstrating how institutions influence personal and societal outcomes. Next, Social Inequality investigates pressing issues such as stratification, race, gender, and global disparities.

With Deviance and Social Control, learners examine how societies define and manage deviant behaviour, including emerging challenges in the digital age. The Social Change module explores transformations caused by collective action, technological advancement, and global trends.

In Applied Sociology, you'll see how sociological thinking contributes to fields such as health, education, media, and social policy. Finally, Contemporary Issues in Sociology brings relevance to your learning, covering critical subjects like migration, environmental justice, sexuality, and social media’s role in society.
