Doctor of Philosophy - PhD
Summary
The MPhil/PhD Sociology programme offers you the chance to undertake a substantial piece of research that is worthy of publication and which makes an original contribution to sociology. You will begin on the MPhil, and will need to meet certain requirements to be upgraded to PhD status.
The Department of Sociology was the first to be created in Britain and has played a key role in establishing and developing the discipline nationally and internationally. Recent UK research evaluations (through the Research Evaluation Framework) have confirmed our position as one of the leading Departments in the UK. We are committed to empirically rich, conceptually sophisticated, research and scholarship addressing topics of social and political urgency. While building upon the traditions of the discipline we play a key role in developing new intellectual areas, and addressing the social problems and ethical dilemmas that face a globalised society.
LSE Sociology embraces a theoretically and methodologically diverse range of approaches. There are four research areas which constitute our strategic priorities and reflect overall a balance between "traditional" sociology and "innovation": economy, technology and expertise; politics and human rights; social inequalities; and urban sociology. Our teaching is informed by our commitments and by our active research in these areas. LSE Sociology will provide a learning environment in which you are encouraged to think critically and independently.

MSc
Summary
The MSc Sociology provides rigorous and in-depth training in sociological theory, methodology, and key areas of sociological research.
These areas reflect the Department’s commitment to understanding and analysing global challenges.

We also have strong research clusters in economic sociology, politics and human rights, social inequalities, and urban sociology – in all these areas, optional courses will be available for you to take. Additionally, we offer a range of options in fields such as culture and society; social theory, families in contemporary societies; and science and technology studies.

You will benefit from the Department’s collaboration with different LSE Departments and Centres (such as the International Inequalities Institute, LSE Cities, LSE Human Rights and the Department of Gender Studies) and a vibrant public events programme led by LSE academics and leading external sociologists.
