BA(Hons) Sociology

BA(Hons) Sociology focuses on how we can make a difference to 'self and society' using sociological theories and approaches.Through a broad range of modules, and with the support of our staff who are leaders in their field, you'll engage with real issues, and develop fresh insights and solutions to help improve people's lives.Learn to evaluate evidence, approach problems from multiple perspectives, and build your expertise in research, analysis and communication.Carry out your own research projects to develop, test and apply new solutions to contemporary problems. Student projects have focused on the refugee/economic migrant crisis, representations of gender or religion in the media, homelessness, the gender pay gap, the policing of public order and demonstrations, the impact of new technology on cultural industries, and how social class affects attitudes to education. These illustrate just a small number of the types of projects students undertake.
