Course summary

The BA Sociology degree examines the interconnections between individuals and wider society. You’ll explore changing social, cultural, economic and political processes such as the identities, inequalities and policies that shape our lives.  Bridging big ideas and practical problems, you’ll consider how classical, contemporary and emerging styles of thought (or the ideas of key thinkers) can shed light on social issues such as crime, disability, family and gender issues, racism, and climate change. You’ll examine social inequalities, protest and struggles over power, and explore the importance of sociology today.  A wide variety of optional modules will allow you to focus on topics that suit your interests and career plans, from decolonial theory to gender studies, the climate crisis and culture. Your studies will be informed by the latest research being conducted within the School by academics with an impressively diverse range of interests.
