Course summary

If you are looking to develop a global understanding of society, social dynamics and modern life expertise in research and analysis and strong decision-making skills, you will need an enquiring mind and a desire to get out into the community to see the ‘real issues and get involved in bringing about change.

The programme gives you the skills to explore the many ways that people live in contemporary societies probing the nature of power, identities, cultures and change that characterise our lives.

Why choose Northumbria to study Sociology?

You will explore the theories, research and debates in the discipline giving you the tools and creativity to investigate the pressing issues of our time – belonging, inequality, mobilities, solidarity, climate change and how social locations such as class, sexuality, race, gender and disability are woven into everyday life. You will be trained to think clearly and critically about the social world – skills highly valued by employers.

You will graduate prepared for employment in a number of fields that require a sophisticated, critical and questioning understanding of the workings of society, including central government, the police, the prison system, community safety and education.

How will my BSc (Hons) Sociology degree provide me with the skills needed for my career?

Through this course you will develop a range of skills and attributes which will help you develop into an active agent of social change.

You will develop a sociological imagination which allows you to critically link individual actions to social structures. You will critically evaluate evidence and theory in order to challenge your own ideas, justify your arguments and evaluate those of others. You will apply appropriate theory and research methods to complex real world problems. You will be trained in a range of forms of effective communication formats which address diverse audiences. Consequently you will graduate prepared for employment in a number of fields that require a sophisticated, critical and questioning understanding of the workings of society.

Our graduates go on to work in the public and not-for-profit sectors including central government, charities and research organisations, community safety and education.
