Course summary
Race and migration, health inequalities, and technology—the world of sociology explores so many aspects of our lives and the challenges we face in the 21st century. Study with us to join the debate on hot topics and learn to carry out research that provides societal insights.
Our BA Sociology with a Foundation Year starts with essential humanities-focused study, preparing you for degree-level learning. Passing this foundation year leads to our BA Sociology programme, where you'll develop confidence in conducting research, digesting and interpreting data, and understanding different forms of evidence.
Becoming confident in your own research is a key part of the course. We’ll show you how to conduct interviews, design surveys, interpret different forms of data, and more.
We want to help you achieve your goals. That’s why we assess your learning in a range of ways. You’ll complete portfolios, write research reports in the form of podcasts on topics such as lyric analysis, and deliver presentations in front of classmates.
