Course summary

By understanding the social world, we gain a better understanding of ourselves and our own social situations. Sociology investigates social life and the way it shapes people’s behaviour, beliefs and identity. Its subject matter ranges from an examination of the face-to-face interactions of daily life, to large-scale social institutions, social movements and global processes. By understanding the social world, we gain a better understanding of ourselves and our own social situations. Sociology may also be studied through the medium of Welsh in the course BA Cymdeithaseg gyda Pholisi Cymdeithasol. ‘Placement Year’ and 'International Experience Year’ options are available for this course. You will have the opportunity to fully consider these options when you have started your course at Bangor and can make an application for a transfer onto such a pathway at the appropriate time.
