2-Semester Pathway - International Foundation Programme - Business and Management - continue to Bachelor of Arts - Sociology (Honours)

The sociology degree at Solent University provides a practical learning experience that enables students to become an independent and collaborative learner and leader. Covering issues of politics and identity, the sociology of work, media and power, social inequalities, and popular culture, students will develop knowledge of key areas, applying sociological theories and drawing on social research methods that will enable them to critically understand the causes of social inequality and routes towards social justice. This knowledge alongside development of key skills can be applied to a diverse range of careers where students can make a positive difference to society.

The skills students learn and develop in sociology can be used in a diverse range of careers. For example, being a critical thinker and being able to assess different viewpoints, asking critical questions about social issues has meant that employers in a range of sectors see sociology degrees as desirable. More specifically, sociology graduates develop communication skills, analytical skills, and cross cultural understanding, which can be utilised in a number of employment opportunities.
