Program Description
Discover what binds and divides people, explore identity, class, belief systems, cultural difference and social change, and examine how people experience these all over the world and in their daily lives. With special emphasis on applying theory to contemporary, real-world challenges, students will develop professional skills and civic capabilities that are much sought after by employers in both the private and public sectors at local, national or international levels.
Sociology and Social Anthropology are as engaging as they are insightful.

It will provide students with a comprehensive understanding of key sociological and social anthropological areas of debate, such as kinship and family, religion and ritual, politics, power and inequality, gender, race and ethnicity. Students will explore sociological and social anthropological perspectives on important contemporary issues, such as globalization, post-conflict interventions, migration, terrorism and protection.
Graduates benefit from an exciting and eclectic mix of guest speakers and from authentic assignments modelled on real-world demands for sociological and social anthropological knowledge. The course further stands out for its unique placement opportunities either in the UK or abroad. This can dramatically boost your students employability by developing professional skills and making crucial contacts.
