BA (Hons) Sociology 2:1 University of Sussex
Sep 2015Hastings TN34 1QJ, UK
Obtaining a degree in Sociology has been highly effective in the workplace as it has taught me how to mediate and communicate with people efficiently. Not only did I love my degree for its Sociological teachings but also for the Psychological and Philosophical theory that is applicable to everyday problem solving.
