Sociology is the scientific study of the social world around us. This course will teach you how to critically analyse current social problems and explore possible methods for future social change.

From the psychology of crime and deviance to the evolving landscapes of migration, race, and religion, at Sheffield you’ll dive into the key contemporary influences on human society.

What are the social conditions that shape our individual lives and our interactions with others? How do we comprehend the big challenges in society, and how do we solve them? These are the questions we aim to tackle throughout your degree.

This course will train in research techniques, information retrieval, critical analysis and communication using a range of styles and formats. You’ll practise key skills needed for social research and learn to use the theoretical frameworks and methodological tools of the discipline to investigate and report on a significant social or sociological issue.

In your third year, you’ll explore current thinking on wide-ranging issues like gender, queer theory, migration, sex work, and the sociology of evil. You'll also complete your own research project, on a topic of your choice, working closely with an expert dissertation supervisor.

This is a degree where both the subject matter and the methods of learning and assessment keep pace with modern society. Our academic team will use their research to guide your learning experience, and support your learning through different forms of coursework such as creating vlogs, zines and delivering presentations.
