In a time of economic instability, social upheaval and cultural tensions, our BSc Sociology degree instils students with the knowledge, skills and passion to understand and find solutions to the most pressing issues facing contemporary societies. Our programme of varied and engaging modules examines the impact on individuals and societies of the processes of globalisation, nationalism and migration; transformations of gender roles; religious beliefs; political identities and the impact of social media on mental health – even the cultural politics of sport and the rise of fitness culture. At the core of our programmes are the skills needed to understand the factors driving increasingly rapid processes of social, cultural, technological and environmental change and how individuals, communities and nations respond to these upheavals.

We teach cutting-edge theories and practical research methods, from basic quantitative skills to innovative methods, such as visual analysis and online ethnography.
