I really hope that this helps you understand (briefly) what taking a Sociology degree will involve and decide whether it's the right choice for you. And even if you're not looking to take Sociology as a degree at university, hopefully this was interesting and opened your eyes to a non-mainstream subject.
(Also, can you tell that I'm really indecisive about my thumbnail style lool. If you prefer one over another, please comment and let me know!🤣)

I came to this video not because I'm majoring in Sociology but because I'm taking an Intro to Sociology course in the spring so I wanted to learn more about it. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏾🙏🏾
you're so welcome! good luck :)
I used to want to study psychology, but thanks to your videos I realised sociology is a much better fit for me. Thank you so much!
So glad I've been able to help you! Best of luck with your studies x
Me too! I just realized all I love about psychology is about sociology! Omg
Same, I switched to Sociology last month from Psychology.
I'm so thankful that I found your youtube channel! it helped me so much to gain confidence in my decision to pursue a cereer in a sociology!!
Hey Zara, this is so amazing to hear! I'm glad my videos have helped, all the best with your career! x
we love an academic ✨
Why thank you😅😅
thanks for your videos. they help me to decide my future career paths in health & social policy at Warwick uni
Ahh this makes me so happy! Best of luck with your studies!
Thank you!
Great video, thanks!!
you're very welcome!
Good 12 minute summary
heyyy thanks so much for this I'm glad I found your channel. I'm thinking of studying a double major of sociology and media studies when I start uni next year... I kinda thought this might be a good option since the skills of critical thinking and ability to gain a broader knowledge of society that you get from sociology might be useful when it comes to understanding the media as well. as someone who studied sociology do you think these would be two subjects that would intertwine well and set me up well for my future after university?
100%, I love the way you're thinking about how the degrees will benefit you and increase your skillset. Those 'soft skills' (hate that phrase but so be it lol), are really attractive to any employer really. As long as you're interested in those subjects, you'll be good for after uni
Sociology is the "science of society" as its name entails!
Thanks. You're nice to listen 👂 to 😉
Thanks ! :)
Hi! Did you start your course with foundation year or year 1?
You made me think I want to study the same! I’m on business management and I hate it 🙄 it’s foundation year for me and I hope I’ll be able to change for sociology 🍀💙 you are great!!
Hey! Thanks for the lovely comment, I started on year one. Most, if not all, universities in the UK only begin at year one for Sociology. Hope you're able to switch courses if it's right for you :)
@@JoellePhuaLife Thank you so much for replying! I believe it’s a good news all of them start with year 1 as I don’t lose anything ❤️
Have a fab day 🍀
hi thanks for the video found it useful for uni next year can i study sociology if i have not done it before for alevel or gcse
absolutely! most universities in the UK will allow you to apply without having studied it at A level or GCSE. however they will require / prefer you to have studied an essay-based subject at A level or GCSE
Do you have any books you recommend for somebody looking to learn more about sociology
I have a lot of questions
How do you revise for sociology ?
Typically for other subjects how did you revise ?
What subjects are really easy ?
As for sociology, do you think it is an easy subject ?
Hope these videos help a bit!: ua-cam.com/video/EMP2U_-CEcU/v-deo.html

Do you think the stigma of ‘sociology isn’t employable’ is starting to fade away? Do you think companies will see the benefit of having a sociology graduate in their company. As you said, most of society don’t understand sociology, I think this applies to companies aswell. What do you think? (Obviously, it depends on the company) but generally speaking
I think there still is a general misunderstanding of Sociology, *but* that being said, it's all about how you market yourself and present Sociology as applicable to the job one applies for
That's how it's been in my experience anyway!
Alr thx I'm in year 9 and thinking of choosing sociology
Amazing! Let me know if you have any questions :))
@@JoellePhuaLife is it true that there is gonna be 10,000 worded essays?
@@narutoglazer404 In my experience, the ONLY 10,000 piece of writing was my dissertation, it seems like a lot but by the time you do all the research, write all the sections out (usually around 10), 10,000 seems way too little!
@@JoellePhuaLife oh alr thanks!
how can I study sociology without university?
Hey there, you could look up academic journals in places such as SagePub or Google Scholar for topics you're interested in. There should also be online courses you can do too, good luck:)
am I the 1st one to comment? yes I am , love your videos Joelle :)
You are indeed! Even before me hahah, thank you Shailaja !
Your essay started falling apart around the six minute mark.
thanks
Do you make money from it?
I'm a UX/product designer :)
