Sociology explores the big questions in today’s world. What is the true impact of migration and racism on individuals and communities? How does living in poverty affect health and wellbeing? What are the social challenges of rapid technological change? How is our daily life influenced by environmental change and how has society changed the environment? This course explores these questions and many more, equipping you with the skills, knowledge and confidence to act as a force for change in your chosen career.


Why Lancaster?

  • Choose a course that is committed to making a positive difference in society through activism and research, with real-world impact locally, nationally and internationally
  • Build on your knowledge outside of the classroom through collaborative work with local organisations and guest lectures from international experts and civil society leaders
  • Learn from world-renowned academics who contribute to important policy decisions through advisory groups, media appearances, blogs and speeches
  • Learn advanced skills in analysis, communication, teamwork, and statistical analysis from our experts
  • Take part in lively debates and carry out your own research into topics that matter to you - whether that’s climate change, inequality, gender identity, migration, social justice, race, globalisation, disability – the choice is yours!


Thinking global, acting local
The social issues that national governments and local organisations must tackle don’t come packaged in neat boxes, separated from global challenges. So, we don’t believe you should study like that either. We encourage you to see situations from different perspectives, to understand the bigger picture and build skills to respond to social challenges in meaningful, creative ways.


This course will help you develop a strong understanding of the world around you, the challenges it is facing, and the solutions needed to help tackled these issues. You will explore themes such as identity, inequality, migration, and climate change, as well as social justice, race, globalisation and gender. Through studying these topics from both global and local perspectives - with examples from each - you will gain a detailed understanding of complex situations. You’ll learn how to ask the right questions and take the bigger picture into account when developing creative solutions.


We will develop your critical thinking skills with a focus on the issues that matter to you, reflecting on your interests and life experiences. You will be encouraged to develop a range of effective communication tools and advanced research skills, so you can put your own investigations into topics of interest. You’ll learn to think ethically and sociologically about matters, whether local or global. By the end of the course, you’ll feel empowered to enact positive social change in the world around you.
