Focusing on questions about how we engage in society, sociology examines how we make sense of, understand, and evaluate the social structures, organisations, processes, cultures and groups we live our lives within. It is a discipline that recognises we are social animals, and that our wellbeing is tied to the welfare of others and society as a whole. This degree encourages you to develop the skills to become a critical independent thinker, exploring and enquiring about social issues and problems, while also studying political concepts, political systems and the communication techniques of politicians and campaign groups. Our innovative and creative learning and teaching approaches enable you to develop the transferable skills and knowledge you need to expand your sociological imagination and political understanding, as well as preparing you for a variety of potential career paths.
