The BSc Sociology blends local and global sociological perspectives to examine contemporary social issues and transformations, ranging from environmental risks and climate change, to the intensification of inequalities, and imaginings of the future. Students will graduate with the skills and mindset appropriate to tackling the challenges of 21st century society. You will also have the opportunity to study abroad for one academic year.
In each year of your degree you will take a number of individual modules, normally valued at 15 or 30 credits, adding up to a total of 120 credits for the year. Modules are assessed in the academic year in which they are taken. The balance of compulsory and optional modules varies from programme to programme and year to year. A 30-credit module is considered equivalent to 15 credits in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).
The three-year degree offers a strong grounding in sociological theory and research methods, with a focus on how sociology can be applied to important contemporary issues. Our degree emphasises the strong inter-linkages between the local and the global, while giving you the ability to engage with and undertake qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods research. Completing a work-based project and a dissertation enables you to enhance your employability and tailor your study in your own areas of interest.
In Year 1, you will take three core modules in term 1 and three core modules in term 2 plus two optional modules.
Year 2 consists of three core modules in term 1 and two core modules in term 2, plus three optional modules.
Finally, in Year 3, you will take the work-based study module and complete a dissertation plus four optional modules. There is also an opportunity to study abroad for a year (meaning you will complete four years of study in total).
A wide range of optional modules are available in the programme covering a huge variety of topics, as well as different methodological and epistemological approaches. These modules are led by staff who are world-leading in their research and scholarship.
Upon successful completion of 360 credits, you will be awarded a BSc (Hons) in Sociology.
