Course summary
Race and migration, health inequalities and illness, technology – the world of sociology explores so many aspects of our lives and the challenges we face in the 21st century. Study with us to join the debate on hot topics and learn to carry out research that provides societal insights. Becoming confident doing your own research is a key part of the course, as well as the skill of digesting and understanding the research. We’ll show you how to conduct interviews, design surveys, interpret different forms of data, and more. We want to help you achieve your goals. That’s why we assess your learning in a range of ways. You’ll complete portfolios, write research reports in the form of podcasts on topics such as lyric analysis and deliver presentations in front of classmates. Throughout the course, you’ll be taught by experts including Professor Tina Miller, a high-profile sociologist who specialises in parenthood and family lives. You may already be familiar with other members of the team too – they contribute to public debate through lectures, media appearances, social media, and blogs.
