Course Description
How is the 4th industrial revolution going to affect the skills you'll need to get a graduate level job? Why has the COVID-19 pandemic seen more deaths amongst people from 'BAME' communities? How can communities organise more effectively to challenge social inequalities? What will the 'new normal' look like and how will this address the global environmental crisis?
Studying questions like these on the BA (Hons) Sociology degree will develop your digital sociological imagination and the critical and professional skills that lead on to a wide range of careers such as teaching, social research, journalism, social work, human resources, social policy and NGO management.
Your first two years on the degree will prepare you to conduct your own research project on a subject of your own choice supervised by one of your lecturers and you will also gain valuable work experience by doing a work placement in your final year.
The Sociology with Foundation Year course is perfect if you want a degree in sociology, but don't meet the standard entry requirements.
