University of Liverpool's approach to sociology engages students in a critical study of society. Students will learn to make sense of what drives change in the social world and the possible directions this change may take. The effect of new ideas, technologies, government programmes and social conflict on everyday life is explored through the students study of a broad range of subjects that take in local, national and global social relationships. The aim? To give students a comprehensive grasp of the sociological imagination and the real world issues it speaks to.

The core modules in Year One provide students with a firm foundation for future study. In Year Two core students will increase their understanding of social theory and research methods and broaden their knowledge of society through a range of options. By Year Three students will have the choice to study specialist subjects in-depth and develop their independent learning. Students may opt for a dissertation and pursue a topic of their choice.
