BSc (Hons) Sociology

Our BSc Sociology course will challenge your understanding of how society is structured and how it shapes our lives. You will explore large-scale social trends, the importance of key social institutions, and the nuances of everyday behaviour, lifestyles, and identities. The program aims to equip you with the analytical skills needed to examine complex issues and formulate policy conclusions, preparing you for a variety of careers. As part of the interdisciplinary School of Social Sciences, you'll gain a comprehensive understanding of societies, social processes, and the relationships between individuals, groups, and institutions. You will develop your "sociological imagination" to critically analyze social inequalities related to class, gender, ethnicity, and other factors, as well as global challenges like migration and the impact of AI.
