How can we better understand today’s social inequalities, and what can we do to solve them? What impact has globalisation had on our every day lives? How does our culture and society shape our identity and how we evaluate others? These are the types of mquestions we examine in our sociology degree.
You’ll look at many areas of social life, such as gender, race and class, family, migration, creative industries and fashion, to understand how power operates, how individual behaviour, norms and values are shaped by the social world, and how conflict exists and is resolved.
Throughout the course, you’ll be asked to reflect on your own life experiences and to consider contemporary real-world issues and events. You’ll make connections with ideas and arguments from other social sciences, such as psychology, criminology, and politics. You’ll take your learning out of the classroom, broadening your experience of work environments and cultural spaces such as museums and galleries.
Example modules – Globalisation and Social Change – Social Justice and Social Movements – Researching Race and Ethnicity
Graduates work in social research, teaching, policymaking, the charity sector, local government, human resource management and retail. This degree is an excellent foundation for postgraduate study in sociology and related areas.
