Sociology (Hons) University of Nottingham

Overview

The BA Sociology (Hons) degree offered by University of Nottingham encourages you to investigate key debates in sociology, social policy and interdisciplinary research. This will enable you to analyse contemporary society and question what others take for granted.

At the heart of this course is what matters most to the students. They listened to the ideas and themes they wanted to explore and have woven them into the teaching, so your studies will connect with the real‑world issues that feel most relevant. 

Whether you’re drawn to questions of social inequality, decolonisation or the ecological crisis, studying at Nottingham will help you make sense of the world and consider how positive change can happen.
