Sociology means thinking critically about the world around us, exploring social institutions, social change, and the many dynamics that shape identities and interactions.

You'll have the opportunity to explore and develop your knowledge in areas that interest you, such as:

  • health and illness
  • sexuality and gender
  • the anthropology of morality
  • the sociology of childhood

Supported by our research-active staff, you will gain a solid grounding in cutting-edge sociological theories and research.

You also develop transferable skills including critical thinking, analysing complex data, and oral and written presentation skills.
