Introduction:
Sociology concentrates on analysing and understanding the way in which society works; Social Policy is concerned with the analysis of the purposes, processes and outcomes of social welfare.
Stirling’s international and comparative approach means that you will encounter topics that analyse society and welfare issues in a range of countries. Stirling offers particular expertise on Scotland, the UK, the European Union, Western and Central Europe, Australasia, North America and Latin America. Sociology and Social Policy lend themselves particularly well to study by students returning to education whilst still at work.

Assessment in each course is normally based on a combination of coursework and examinations for example, one essay (30 percent) and an examination (70 percent).
