Sociology is the scientific study of how human societies are organised. Sociologists analyse the social forces that govern the world we live in and their impact on individuals, families, communities and countries. Sociologists also look at how class, gender, religion and race affect groups of people and the roles played by large institutions like political or education systems. In short, sociologists examine the modern world, how it came to be organised and where it is going.
As a student, you will analyse and explore key features of historical and contemporary societies, especially Irish society. At the same time, you will acquire research tools and critical methods to study the structures, politics and culture of these societies. You will also gain the ability to understand topical issues and to present and communicate information coherently.
