About BSc Sociology and Philosophy
This course is equally weighted towards sociology and philosophy and you will take units from both subjects throughout the course.
The sociology half of the degree places particular emphasis on sociological theory and its application to real-world concerns. Sociology also provides an opportunity to develop your research skills. The philosophy element offers you a thorough understanding of philosophy in the analytic tradition.
The wide-ranging, flexible curriculum offers progressive intellectual challenges and consolidates your experience throughout.
You will also have the opportunity to spend half a year studying abroad at a partner university. For information on where you can study abroad, please visit our Global Opportunities website.
