Sociology is the scientific study of human social life, groups and societies and is a major influence upon the development of youth studies. Youth studies is the study of young people in relation to education, youth work, social services, criminal justice, the labour market, the transition to adult life, and youth culture.
Students develop a questioning and critical approach to the understanding of criminal behaviour, young people and society. Students also gain skills in analysing theories and evidence, and applying research methods to develop knowledge.
The Early Childhood Studies degree is designed for anyone wanting to work with or for children and/or their families.
For students who do not want to be limited to a single academic discipline. UCM offers 150 courses in almost all academic disciplines. The 3-year programme is entirely in English.

These range from social implications of the new reproductive and information technologies through the analysis of the social meanings of consumer behaviour, to the study of violence, poverty and the means for resolving conflicts and alleviating human suffering. Although anthropological studies are now conducted everywhere, from middle class suburbs and inner cities, to boardrooms and migrant labour camps, what all our studies have in common is an awareness of human diversity.
