Course summary

Overview Unlock the transformative potential of Sociology – on a Sociology course designed by you. Do you want to understand how society works – why inequality persists, how identities are formed, and the way power operates? Sociology is for you if you’re fascinated by the way society functions and are driven by a desire to contribute to a changing world. The BA Sociology 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’re free to change your focus if your interests change. We have a diverse community of experts in Sociology including social and political theorists, to specialists in social policy, social work, education, the environment and global development. Our staff-student community is really important – the staff get to know you, and you get to know us. Our students have even worked with staff on research activities in the school – and we’re always looking for opportunities for students to work collaboratively with us. Sociology graduates will be critical thinkers, able to conduct social research, communicate complex ideas and reflect on existing and emerging career opportunities. The programme’s pathways are designed to link to employment options, as well as provide a strong foundation for postgraduate study. Disclaimer Course details are subject to change.
