Sociology, BSc (Hons)

Digital technologies have profoundly reshaped daily life, while institutions like family, work, and media influence values and actions. Our sociology programmes enable hands-on exploration of societal changes, inequalities, and challenges, guided by internationally renowned academics offering insights into race, politics, urban dynamics, social movements, migration, digital media, gender, and popular culture.The first year builds a strong foundation in sociological theory and methods, with later years allowing students to select modules tailored to their interests, creating a personalised portfolio. Taught by experts in sociology, cultural studies, and digital media—who collaborate with organisations like the BBC and British Film Institute—students benefit from field trips to sites such as the Barbican and London Migration Museum. Options for work placements with entities like the Home Office enhance practical skills and career prospects, with sample modules including Global London and Key Ideas in Sociology.

Sample Modules: Global London, Key Ideas in Sociology, Culture and Society, and Global Sociology. To view the full list of modules for this course and further information on degree content, please visit the Brunel website: brunel.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/Sociology-BSc
