This is a new course and we’re currently finalising the detailed information for this page. You can still see entry requirements and apply.

Overview Sociology helps us understand how society works, connecting the dots between individual lives and the structures they live in.

Studying a Master's in Sociology can completely change the way you view the world around you, developing you as a skilled researcher, excellent critical thinker, robust theorist and agent for change.

On this MSc Sociology degree, you'll explore all aspects of social life, because it all matters. You'll cover topics such as identity, intimacy, wellbeing, popular culture, consumption, colonialism, global inequalities, social media, feminism, racism, or sustainability. You'll use qualitative and quantitative research methods to generate reliable data and insights, and ultimately deepen your knowledge on these issues.

Once you graduate, you'll have skills and awareness to succeed further in a huge range of careers, such as improving public policy by providing evidence on trends and public opinions, enabling charities to serve their communities more effectively by researching their needs, or helping businesses enhance their operations through analysing consumer beliefs, tastes and decision making.
