What social norms bind or separate us? How should we run a society to best cater for all its citizens? How do individuals or groups bring about social change at a local and global level? On our BA Sociology and Social Policy degree, you’ll question and explore the workings of contemporary societies and how they shape the lives of diverse groups and individuals. You’ll also consider how the state responds to major social problems such as poverty, homelessness, domestic violence and unemployment, so you can discover how to make a difference in our increasingly complex world. You can tailor your degree to your interests and career goals through optional modules that examine subjects like identity, miscarriages of justice, international social policy and cults.

In the first year, you will be introduced to significant traditions and ideas in the disciplines of sociology and social policy. You will explore important themes and topics such as deviance, contemporary culture, citizenship and globalisation. Year two will develop your understanding of the theoretical and methodological foundations of sociology and social policy. We will encourage you to explore these through core modules focusing on research design, and classical and contemporary sociology. Optional modules are chosen from both sociology and social policy. Year three provides the opportunity to develop your skills and knowledge through researching for and writing a dissertation on a topic of your choice. There is also a choice of optional modules allowing you to specialise in your areas of interest.
