Overview

Sociology is a multidisciplinary subject, looking at politics, history, psychology, media studies and criminology. It helps us explore interaction with science and technology, and each other in everyday life. Learn more at the BA Sociology (Hons) degree at University of Nottingham .

A benefit of the course is the large number of optional modules you can choose from in years two and three. You could look at identity, social inequalities, gender or cults. Through these topics you’ll learn transferable skills such as research, critical thinking and leadership. Criminology modules are also available to you, allowing you to investigate issues like youth crime or drugs and rehabilitation.

Placements and studying abroad are other options you can take advantage of to grow professionally and personally. It’s this holistic approach to preparing you for the workplace that has put them 2nd in the Russell Group for the number of graduates in sustained employment or further study five years after graduation (LEO data for the tax year 2021/33, published in 2024).
