Course Summary

Our approach to sociology engages you in a critical study of society. You will learn to make sense of what drives change in the social world and the possible directions this change may take. The effect of new ideas, technologies, government programmes and social conflict on everyday life is explored through your study of a broad range of subjects that take in local, national and global social relationships. The aim? To give you a comprehensive grasp of the sociological imagination and the real world issues it speaks to. This programme is available with a Year in China. The Year in China allows undergraduate students the opportunity to spend one year at our joint venture, Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU), following XJTLU's BA China Studies degree classes. XJTLU is a fully English-speaking university, located in Suzhou. If you wish to study this programme with a Year in China please put the option code code YC in the Further Choices section of your UCAS application form.

Course Details - Modules

The core modules in Year One provide you with a firm foundation for future study. Understanding the Social embraces the classic work of Marx, Weber and Durkheim and a range of 20th century social theorists. Social Change and Social Policy looks at issues such as the family, social class, gender, ‘race’, etc. Studying Society explores the basics of social scientific work, including research methods, an introduction to IT – ensuring you are conversant with using online resources. How can sociology help us address social change and divisions? Where best can our sociological imagination apply itself? Year Two core modules include Thinking Sociologically: Approaches to Social Inquiry and Social Research Methods. In Year Three, you will undertake an extended piece of self-directed study. You may elect to do a Dissertation or Applied Social Research (including working for a local agency).
