The Sociology BSc emphasises the application of sociological thinking to real-world issues. Blending local and global perspectives, the course aims to equip students with the tools to understand and analyse the forces shaping contemporary societies - from environmental risks and climate change to deepening economic inequalities, the rise of new nationalisms and technological transformations. Drawing on UCL’s rich tradition of sociological scholarship and cutting-edge research and teaching, the degree provides a strong foundation in both sociological theory and research methods. Over the course of the degree, you will develop a “21st-century sociological imagination” and engage with a wide range of topics and theoretical approaches.
The course will also prepare you for a wide array of career paths through the development of strong analytical, research, and communication skills. You will be trained in qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods research and acquire transferable skills - from conducting independent research and critically evaluating evidence to communicating complex ideas clearly and effectively to varied audiences. The Sociology BSc will also teach you to apply these skills in its final-year ‘Work-Based Project’, where you will work with stakeholders in government, multinational corporations and charities in the third-sector to deliver research-based reports that will inform their policies and practices. As a Sociology BSc graduate, you will be well equipped to apply sociological perspectives to contemporary social challenges and contribute meaningfully to global citizenship.
