Interested in why humans think and behave so differently? Understand the world around you on our sociology degree. Critically analyse social and cultural settings and apply your knowledge to different issues on field trips in the UK and Europe. Humans are social animals.

You’ll examine issues associated with these questions including equality, rights, liberty, social justice and diversity. You’ll study a range of topics. These could include feminist, gay and disability rights. Or movements such as ‘Black Lives Matter’ and transgender activism. In years 2 and 3, you’ll have greater choice to shape your study with optional modules. Our approach to teaching sociology is innovate and creative. Throughout your degree you’ll take part in field trips in the UK and Europe. We’ll make sure you develop research skills to expand your sociological imagination.
