How does society work? What makes one society different from another? Our Sociology degree will push you to look beyond the everyday to understand contemporary society and how it shapes our lives.
Develop your expertise in research and analysis on our Sociology course. You'll reflect on and discuss social issues from a local, national and international perspective.
You’ll gain a deep understanding of key sociological theorists and important issues. Our emphasis on studying these in an international context will be useful if you plan to study or work overseas.
You’ll have the opportunity to tailor your degree to your interests. Areas we cover include sexuality and identity, gender and body politics, violence in societies, childhood studies, the sociology of religion and youth culture.
