Programme Structure

Curriculum includes:

Modules have specific focus on how society can be better understood, and made more just, through exploring markers of identity, such as class, ethnicity, gender and sexuality.
The modules that make up our degree also reflect the ways in which power presents itself and influences us on a daily basis.
Through linking theory with the real world, you are encouraged to apply your sociological knowledge to social contexts whether they are related to inequality, the state, crime, difference, securitization and mass media, or those every day, taken-for-granted features of life which seem less important, such as consumption, taste and the performance of our identities.
