This programme will be made up of a combination of modules from both Sociology and Geography. You will be encouraged to become an imaginative, creative, and pragmatic thinker who can think about problems critically with a view to working out practical solutions. Combined with Geography, you will also focus specifically on your preferred area of human geography.
This highly interdisciplinary course provides you with a strong theoretical and practical background in human geography giving you the understanding and professional geographical skills to explore an array of world issues from different perspectives. You will develop problem-solving skills and the ability to research, evaluate and synthesise information from diverse sources.
Our staff's diverse research interests and creative methods reflect modern human geography that can develop your skills to address contemporary societal issues such as climate change, sustainability, health and migration from political, economic, social and cultural perspectives. What you learn here will equip you for future employment and for a lifelong appreciation of the world around you.
Studying Sociology will enable you to think independently, critically, and imaginatively about the issues that shape our everyday lives and our futures. You will gain a solid understanding of the key areas which make up this discipline such as inequalities, social theory, and research methods. Our programme also covers a wide range of topics including families, activism and protest, social media, globalisation, and belief systems.
This course includes training in professional and research skills, and opportunities for either a module or a whole year of work placement.
