Overview
Understand how and why society is changing on this BSc (Hons) Sociology degree course.
Step into critical debates on social issues and inequalities as they vary around the world, including gender and sexuality, race and racism, nationalism, human emotions, even the food we eat. Make sense of what’s going on, why it’s happening, and what we can do about it.
On this BSc (Hons) Sociology degree, you’ll learn classical sociological theories and how to apply them to the topics that most inspire you. You'll be taught and supported by the same expert staff and active researchers who introduce you to ideas and concepts in lectures, and encouraged to discuss these with them in more depth alongside other students.
As you work towards your choice of final research project, you'll pick subjects you want to explore further from a wide range of specialist subjects, such as social justice, wellbeing and happiness, and the sociology of education.
You'll graduate with transferable skills sought after by employers across many sectors, as well as the confidence, knowledge and methods to enact positive change within a broad range of careers.
