You want to understand the world but also to change it for the better. You are looking for a degree that satisfies your head – your desire for a good and rewarding future career, as well as your heart – your commitment to social justice and equality. About This Course On this course, you’ll develop your understanding of sociology, explore areas you’re already interested in and discover new passions.
