Overview

Our new BSc (Hons) Sustainable Societies and Global Sociology is an innovative, interdisciplinary degree that equips you with the ability to critically engage with some of the most urgent challenges of the 21st century. Drawing together perspectives from sociology, politics, business, and ecology, the course examines how societies across the globe are responding to issues of development, sustainability, inequality and social justice.

You’ll explore questions such as: How can societies pursue economic growth without deepening global inequalities? What are the social implications of different models of development? How do businesses, governments, and communities shape - and contest - sustainable futures? What social impacts emerge from climate change, conservation, technological innovation and ecological transformation?

Through a combination of theoretical study, case-based learning, and practical engagement, you'll develop the critical and applied research skills needed to understand and influence sustainable transitions at local, national, and global levels.

As a graduate, you’ll be well prepared for the massive growth of careers in international development, policy, economic and social governance, corporate social responsibility, sustainability consultancy, social impact assessment, NGOs, conservation, social research and beyond.
