Sociology Honours Middlesex University

Overview

The Sociology Honours BA course at the Middlesex University offers some of the UK's most innovative sociology teaching, within a stimulating and supportive learning environment. Through studying sociology you will learn to find, extract and use both macro and micro information, from international surveys to in-depth interviews. And learn to use your findings to develop concrete, confident arguments. Alongside theoretical study, placement opportunities within a community organisation or NGO will develop your professional experience.

Through learning to conduct your own research projects and by analysing the work of others, you will become a professional researcher, making you highly valued by employers across a range of sectors.

You will have the freedom to choose your modules and focus of study in your second and third year meaning you can tailor your degree to your individual interests and future career goals. The programme itself has a strong focus on race and "decentering" the discipline of sociology, making it ever more relevant in today's world and making intersectionality a central feature of your study and practice. You'll also have the opportunity to take on a work placement or study abroad.
