Course summary
Overview At Worcester we encourage you to see the world from different angles, discuss new ideas, and think beyond the obvious. You’ll join a vibrant course community with lecturers who have a personal interest in you and your ideas. There are also plenty of real-life research opportunities, such as interviewing and observing, and when using sociological and political theory we make it relatable, showing how it can help with ‘real’ problems. Alongside studying sociology your course will have a political edge, allowing you to relate sociological research and issues to political philosophy, systems, and existential political challenges in Westminster, European and global politics. This combination of subjects will allow you to see the impact of politics, political language and legislation on everyday lives. Key features
