Introduction

Sociology is the study of social relations and society which helps you to understand the social issues facing you today.

Sociology examines theories of everyday life and questions the way you interpret the world. It is an ideal subject to prepare you for any career as it enables you to think beyond your own immediate experience. Sociological theories provide a framework for thinking about society from different standpoints, raising issues you may never have considered. Research methods provide the tools of sociological investigation, and this course offers a range of specialist option modules which cover different aspects of society and reflect the research interests of the teaching team.

Learning and Teaching Environment

The School of Social Sciences, Humanities and Languages is renowned for the international quality of its research and teaching. It is taught by internationally recognised research-active specialist staff and thus is able to offer right up-to-date insights and experience in its teaching. They are committed to research-led teaching. Research seminars are open to undergraduates.

They make full use of innovative and traditional teaching approaches within the Department of Social and Historical Studies. Teaching is through lectures, seminars and workshops. A wide variety of assessment methods are used. Some modules are assessed by course work only and some by a combination of course work and exam. Course work assessments include essays, presentations, book reviews, documentary analysis.

Associated Careers

A degree in Sociology prepares you for most professional careers because it develops critical self and social awareness and an ability to think beyond the obvious. Specifically, many Sociology students enter professions such as teaching and social work or join the Civil Service, local government or voluntary organisations, and sometimes business and commercial organisations. A number of students are inspired to further study for Masters degrees and PhDs, and subsequently make the transition to academic jobs in teaching and/or research at this and other universities.
