Curriculum
You will acquire detailed theoretical knowledge and a critical understanding of contemporary social processes and changes. You will have the opportunity to develop a broad set of essential academic skills, including the ability to analyse and formulate clear, logical arguments with scope for extensive evaluation from a range of theoretical perspectives. You will also develop strong critical thinking skills and be able to consider issues on a global scale. You may never look at the world in quite the same way again!
The first year includes socialisation and culture and identity. You will develop your knowledge of these key themes through an in depth study of youth subcultures. Researching and understanding social inequalities, you will learn how to carry out sociological research and use your skills to discover which social groups are the most disadvantaged and why.
The second year builds on your understanding of the topics above and introduces debates in contemporary society. This will engage you in theoretical debates and an exploration of how this relates to a contemporary, global and increasingly digital society. This will include a detailed study of crime and deviance.
