Overview

What social forces shape our everyday lives? How can we understand, explain and link local, national and global societies? What factors impact on the opinions and attitudes to social issues, society in general and other people?

If you have an enquiring mind, are interested in key sociological issues in response to these questions, and being part of the solution, then sociology is for you.

You develop high level analysis, research and writing skills which are highly valued by employers in the public sector, journalism, social research, community development, non-governmental organisations and postgraduate study or training.

The Sociology (Hons) programme from Teesside University addresses historical and contemporary issues, and investigates topics such as work, social diversities, social inequalities, leisure and youth, and social exclusion.

Career opportunities

Expect opportunities in the public sector, journalism, social research, community development, non-governmental organisations and postgraduate study or training.
