Curriculum
In Year 1 students are introduced to key concepts and methods that allow you to develop a 'sociological imagination' and understand the meaning of thinking ethically.
Year 2 deepens your understanding of Sociological theories and research methods, and broadens philosophical knowledge through studying the Enlightenment - widely regarded as the movement that formed the central institutions and structures of the modern western world. Students also have the opportunity to explore social aspects of contemporary Britain, including, gender and sexuality.
The final year enables you to specialise in area case studies around conflict, nationality and identity and develop further an understanding of the major developments in philosophical thinking through modules such as Freedom, Recognition and Authenticity; Philosophy of Mind; Self and Other; Political Theory.
Students are encouraged to develop Sociological understandings of contemporary geopolitics in modules such as Gender and Development in the 'Third World', Globalisation: Struggles and Resistance, Work and Society, and Global Education Issues.
You will work with an academic supervisor on a research project tailored to your own personal interest, or on a research project based in a community organisation.
