Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Sociology

The world faces unprecedented challenges, from the climate crisis, to rising inequality; from the automation of people’s jobs by computers and artificial intelligence, to a civil society divided by questions of what is true or false. There has never been a more pressing need for people to understand how society works, how people and groups interact, and how social structures and institutions affect everyday lives.

The University of Kent offers one the most cutting-edge Sociology programmes in the UK, where students will be taught by world-class experts researching the most pressing issues facing society today.
