Sociology gives you the opportunity to engage with some of the world’s most burning questions: in a world where mobile phones are connecting everyone, why do people feel further apart than ever? How are conservative attitudes and increased diversity on the rise at the same time? What is Artificial Intelligence doing to how we vote, work, maintain relationships, and consume?
This fascinating course explores all of these, as well as other contemporary issues such as globalisation, gender, religion, sexuality, identity formation, policing, nationalism, and more.
Develop your abilities as investigators of social life in London and beyond and graduate with the skills and confidence to turn your degree into an excellent career. You’ll also have the opportunity to do a work placement that matches your interests, and will leave with a balance of theory, practice, and experience, to be active agents in the world of change.
There’s also the option to specialise in a specific Criminology pathway:
BA Sociology with Criminology
