Sociology

The Sociology Diploma Course begins with an explanation of the subject, its historical background and some key theoretical perspectives in sociology.

We'll look at some important sociological perspectives and how they are used in sociology and shed some light on the theories of some prominent sociologists.

The course explores culture and subculture and the concept of society as a whole, including how societies influence the individuals that form them. We’ll take the discussion of society even further, by looking at the process of socialisation, followed by a dissection of the many forms of social groupings we find throughout the world, including an in-depth look at two of the major structures of a society's existence - marriage and family.

You’ll discover the history of religion, religion as a sociological concept, various religious organisations and the different types of religion. Finally, we explore different forms of power and authority and sociology’s theoretical perspectives on government.

It will be of particular interest to anyone looking for a foundational level of knowledge from which to build upon with further study and will expose you to sub-topics within sociology in which you may wish to specialise.

It will also be interesting to you if you simply wish to better understand the world around you and your place within it.
