Sociology, BA (Hons), with study abroad

Lancaster University’s Sociology programme equips students with in-demand skills in analysis, communication, research, and teamwork, opening doors to diverse careers. Through a four-year option, students can spend their third year at partner institutions abroad, tailoring their studies with a wide range of modules and learning from expert staff who influence policy and societal change. The course explores pressing issues like gender inequalities, identity through consumption, and the impacts of economic crises, while fostering interdisciplinary perspectives and real-world research skills.For those pursuing study abroad, the experience enhances global outlook, cultural awareness, and professional networks, with opportunities in destinations such as Australia, the USA, Canada, Europe, and Asia. Students select modules aligned with their degree and host university specialisms, promoting personal development. If placements are unavailable, students may transfer to the standard three-year programme at Lancaster, with the university supporting transitions where possible.
