Program Description
BA Sociology and Politics degree at Aberystwyth University will enable students to develop a critical awareness of the social world through a solid grounding in the conceptual and theoretical approaches employed by sociologists to study the world around us. At the same time, the exploration of the political world will provide students with insights into the political influences on social norms and social formations, which will furnish students with new ways of approaching key sociological concepts including identity, integration and conflict, in addition to effective ways of contextualising the study of political formations, processes and behaviours. The distinctive field-based approach to sociology at Aberystwyth will equip them with first-hand experience of a variety of sociological research methods in addition to training in the techniques of archival research.
