Sociology

studies the ways that people organise their lives together, the constraints within which they do so, the patterns of their social behaviour, and the causes and consequences of social inequalities.One of the distinctive features of our Sociology programme, commended by external examiners and by our graduates, is the combination of sociological, criminological and anthropological perspectives which we provide.


English Language and Linguistics

combines the study of the structure and meaning of the English language, past and present, to see what all this tells us about our culture, our society and ourselves.Over 50 years, we created the world-leading Historical Thesaurus of English, a unique resource charting the semantic development of the huge and varied vocabulary of English.You will also have access to dedicated laboratories for analysing spoken and written language.
