Sociology examines how individual choices are affected by wider social forces, and how they can be understood by placing them in their social context. You will study: * the relationship between individuals and groups * issues of belonging and identity * the social causes of cooperation and conflict * the way societies and social institutions are formed and how they change over time You will also learn to compare different national contexts, and understand contemporary social issues from a global perspective. Staff at the University of Edinburgh carry out research on a variety of topics and offer teaching related to their research. If you choose to study with us you will be exposed to a range of topics, ideas and approaches to sociology.
