If you have an enquiring mind, are interested in key sociological issues in response to these questions, and being part of the solution, then sociology is for you.
You develop high level analysis, research and writing skills which are highly valued by employers in the public sector, journalism, social research, community development, non-governmental organisations and postgraduate study or training.
Sociology at Teesside addresses historical and contemporary issues, and investigates topics such as work, social diversities, social inequalities, leisure and youth, and social exclusion.
You think critically about the world you live in, gain an understanding of people and their interactions, lives and experiences, and consider whether governments and social policies can improve the lives of ordinary people. You can specialise in areas as diverse as globalisation, gender, social media and social policy in context.
Top reasons to study this course
- Real-world experience: our Inside Out programme sees students learn alongside serving prisoners to examine issues of crime, justice and society. You can also gain work experience through live projects and Volun-tees, across areas such as drug projects, youth projects and victim support.
- Learn from leading researchers: benefit from teaching informed by active researchers and widely published staff, giving you access to the latest thinking in contemporary sociology.
- Shape your own specialism: start with a broad foundation in sociology, then focus on your personal interests through an independent research project in your final year.
Note: This course is no longer running for September 2026 onwards. However, students with relevant qualifications can apply for entry or transfer into Year 2 or 3 in September 2026, or Year 3 in September 2027. You may also be interested in our BSc (Hons) Criminology and Sociology course.
