Programme overview
This programme gives you the opportunity to extend your core sociological knowledge and understanding. It will also strengthen familiarity with the discipline for students whose background is in a related subject, but do not have specialist knowledge of sociology.
The key learning goals are to develop critical use and comprehension of social theory, gain a grounding in methodologies and techniques of enquiry, and focus on distinctive, substantive sociological topics, such as ethnicity, multiculturalism, gender, sexuality, religion and culture.
The dissertation gives you the opportunity to pursue a sociological project of your choice in greater depth, while still providing close academic supervision.
