Sociology, BA (Hons)

Our BA (Hons) Sociology degree at Birmingham City University is a dynamic and practical programme, grounded in theory and empirical evidence while addressing local and global perspectives. It equips students to understand the world and their role within it by actively engaging in sociology—questioning social norms, examining the intricacies of daily routines and practices across various contexts, and applying insights to personal experiences.Additionally, the course includes an optional professional placement year, available after completing the second year. This opportunity allows students to gain hands-on experience with an employer, enhancing career insights and potentially leading to future employment. Participants must secure a relevant placement using the university's extensive employer networks and careers support; upon success, they can transfer to the placement pathway. Note that placement year fees equate to 20% of the full-time course fee.
