Additional information

The programme provides a practical learning experience that enables you to become an independent and collaborative learner and leader. Covering issues of politics and identity, the sociology of work, media and power, social inequalities, and popular culture, you will develop knowledge of key areas, applying sociological theories and drawing on social research methods that will enable you to critically understand the causes of social inequality and routes towards social justice. This knowledge alongside development of key skills can be applied to a diverse range of careers where you can make a positive difference to society.

This is a contemporary and exciting course which gives you the sociological knowledge and skills needed to develop a critical and informed perspective on social inequalities and social justice. You will assess evidence and research that enables you to question existing policies and practice and apply sociological thinking to addressing social issues at both a local and global level. You will do this by learning to question practices and develop analytical skills to address social problems.

The skills you learn and develop in sociology can be used in a diverse range of careers. For example, being a critical thinker and being able to assess different viewpoints, asking critical questions about social issues has meant that employers in a range of sectors see sociology degrees as desirable. More specifically, sociology graduates develop communication skills, analytical skills, and cross cultural understanding, which can be utilised in a number of employment opportunities.
