Sociology, BSc (Hons)

Our BSc Sociology degree equips students with essential theories and methods to examine how individual identities, behaviours, and lives are influenced by societal processes and structures that foster exclusion and inequality.The programme enables you to explore critical social questions, including how societies evolve amid globalisation, migration, gender shifts, religious changes, digital technologies, social movements, and economic transformations. It also covers how social theories illuminate power dynamics, societal analysis, and research methods, from correlations between class and education to the emotional impacts of social media.
