Course summary

Overview Discover the transformative power of Sociology – on a Sociology course designed by you. Are you curious about how society functions—why inequality persists, how identities are shaped, and how power operates? If you're intrigued by these questions and passionate about making a difference in a changing world, Sociology is for you. The BA Sociology with a Year Abroad course at UEA puts you in charge of designing the course you want to study. Our teaching emphasises creative, critical and applied learning so you can learn in ways that suit you, whilst developing a wide range of skills and interests. The course is designed around four pathways:

  • Criminology
  • The Sociology of Children and Families
  • The Sociology of Social Change
  • Digital Sociology
You can focus on specific modules to build your expertise in a pathway, or select modules to explore all of them, and you can change your focus if your interests change. Our vibrant community of sociology experts includes social and political theorists, as well as specialists in social policy, social work, education, and global development. Your year abroad will give you the opportunity to be absorbed into university life within a different culture. You can choose from a range of our partner universities in North America, Europe, Australasia, or Asia. Sociology graduates will be critical thinkers, skilled in conducting social research, articulating complex ideas, and exploring existing and emerging career opportunities. The programme’s pathways are designed to link to employment options and provide a strong foundation for postgraduate study. Disclaimer Course details are subject to change.
