Summary

Interested in social change? This postgraduate programme in Sociology aims to redefine how we think about society in the context of capitalism and globalisation and the ways we can contribute to actively creating change. Our courses encourage the students to develop an ability to visualise new political realities while exploring the topics of social divisions and inequality, and their links to political economy. We aim to facilitate an understanding of intersections between class, gender, race, and disability in relation to the latest scholarly developments in Marxist, feminist and postcolonial theory. Our ethos is not only related to creating a learning environment in which the students can make sense of current political turbulence experienced globally, but we also strive to create new knowledge in interaction with our cohorts. Being a part of our MA programme means working and interacting with lecturers, who are experts in their respective fields and becoming a part of our vibrant research community.

With strong focus on research, this course enables our students to develop the central skills required to analyse, understand and critically evaluate a variety of sociological issues. The programme benefits from the knowledge and teaching skills of research active colleagues across the School of Social Sciences and is therefore a strong example of authentic interdisciplinary teaching. We provide the students with an opportunity to thoroughly explore and critique the most recent developments and scholarship in the discipline and to communicate this experience to others through an extended, supervised research project, designed to spark further development within the chosen fields. Our ethos is not only related to creating a teaching environment in which the students can make sense of current political turbulence experienced globally, but we also strive to create new knowledge which might contribute to global efforts at creating social change.
