Course summary
This programme has an additional integrated foundation year to provide extra preparation for higher education study.
This wide-ranging and fascinating degree explores important questions about the complex nature of human interaction within society. How do people achieve social status or respect from others? Does our gender, class or ethnicity affect the opportunities available to us? How is our society changing and why?
Over three years, you will examine the way British society works but also gain a deeper understanding of global issues, including environmental concerns, poverty, migration and social justice. You will investigate the role of the media and digital technologies in shaping how we view and interact with the world around us.
This degree will give you the opportunity to research and develop your own areas of interest in themes as diverse as: crime and punishment; developmental psychology; education; gender; ethnicity; the media; celebrity culture; disability; poverty; childhood and youth. Using your findings, knowledge and research, you can help make a difference in the world we live in.
