Through this course students will analyse and understand the complexities of the social world in which we live. Students will study key issues in social care and develop an understanding of theories of care management and practice. Year 1 introduces students to sociological thought and research and introduces a variety of themes. Students will be encouraged to think sociologically about issues such as education, the family, health, crime, women's campaigning and volunteering. Students may consider the impact of industrialisation and urbanisation, and the emergence and development of capitalist industrial societies. Alongside this, students will study the social groups most likely to need social care services, how social care services are organised. Other opportunities include enhancing their study skills and undertaking a period of supervised voluntary work in a voluntary or community-based organisation. Year 2 looks at concepts of values and theories of assessment and communication. Students will continue their study of sociological methods and investigate both classical and contemporary sociological theory. There is also an opportunity to undertake supervised voluntary work. Year 3 explores the management of welfare and the joined up nature of policy implementation.
