Program Description

Studying Sociology as 50% of the degree gives students a thorough understanding of the way in which society works. Core modules in Year One provide students with a firm foundation for future study. Year Two compulsory modules include Thinking sociologically: approaches to social inquiry, and Social research methods. In 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. Alternatively, students can gain valuable employability skills and opt for the Applied social research module or Social policy project and combine work experience with their studies, by carrying out a piece of research commissioned by a local agency.

Students doing the 50% of the International Relations programme are ideally positioned to connect with a wide range of other disciplines, including history, business, languages, law, communication studies, philosophy, criminology and sociology.
