Course summary

How would you explain the society we live in?

If you are looking to develop a global understanding of society, social dynamics and modern life; expertise in research and analysis; and strong decision-making skills, you will need an enquiring mind and a desire to get out into the community to see the ‘real issues’ and get involved in bringing about change.

The programme gives you the skills to explore the many ways that people live in contemporary societies probing the nature of power, identities, cultures and change that characterise our lives.
