Sociological Studies for undergraduates

Sociology challenges us to address the biggest issues facing the world, to see them from a new perspective and to revise the way society works.

Study with us and you’ll benefit from the high quality research of our internationally renowned staff, who are constantly extending the boundaries of sociological studies and our understanding of society. Unlike other Universities, this outstanding research feeds directly into your course, giving you a wider range of options to study. You'll develop the analytical skills to formulate solutions and you'll do work that really could make society better.
