Sociology is ideal for you, if you have an inquisitive mind ready to engage with social issues in tumultuous times. We examine diverse societies and the experiences of different individuals and groups. * You’ll explore the pressing issues of modern-day society in the UK and internationally, including: inequalities and social injustice, body, self and identities, race and racism, gender, sex and sexuality, crime and punishment, media and popular culture, families and personal relationships and much more * You’ll have opportunities to work in diverse situations on short and long-term placements*. This can provide the opportunity for practical, real-life experience that’s relevant to your future career aspirations. * Studying sociology should help you develop your own sociological imagination.
