Discover how societies and cultures across the world are becoming increasingly connected.
On this course, you'll learn how people are shaped by their nationality, gender and ethnicity and explore the global effects of culture transformation.
You'll investigate how social media impacts society on a global scale, and what this means for people's lives and identities.
You'll also develop advanced research skills to help you design studies, interpret findings, and critically evaluate data.
Assessment and feedback
Core modules will be assessed by a mixture of ‘open’ essays (where an assignment is prepared in your own time and handed in) and presentations.
Open assessments are released early in the term so you can select one or more essay titles to read around the topic and plan your chosen essay.
Towards the end of your studies, you'll complete a 15,000-word dissertation on an original piece of your own research.
