Sociology (with Foundation Year) - BA (Hons)

Lincoln Bishop University

Studying Sociology at Lincoln Bishop University is an invitation to explore the world through fresh eyes. You won’t simply learn about sociological theories, you’ll discover how these ideas help us make sense of complex issues such as terrorism, nationalism, sexism, surveillance, globalisation and multiculturalism. Our approach to research methods is equally hands-on: you’ll see how these tools are used every day by marketing agencies, governments, local councils, PR companies, polling organisations and more, giving you a real-world perspective on how sociological knowledge shapes society. This degree highlights the power and relevance of sociology far beyond the classroom. You’ll gain a cutting-edge understanding of both classical and contemporary social, cultural and sociological theories, alongside rigorous training in research methods that are highly valued by employers. By the time you graduate, you’ll have developed a wide range of transferable skills, preparing you for success in public, private and third-sector careers. At Lincoln Bishop University, you’ll benefit from our commitment to small group teaching and personalised support. You’ll never be just another face in a crowded lecture theatre. Instead, you’ll enjoy direct access to passionate academics who are actively engaged in high-quality research. Our staff draw on their own expertise and experience to shape your learning, ensuring you are supported, challenged and inspired throughout your degree.
