Sociology MA

Our Sociology MA equips you with an awareness and understanding of the theoretical traditions and concepts that shape Sociology as a discipline. A dissertation and a variety of taught options provide you with an in-depth opportunity to engage with key sociological issues and approaches.

This course gives you an understanding of the philosophical principles that underpin social inquiry and also equips you with the ability to integrate material across a range of disciplines.

You will also gain:

• knowledge in key areas of sociology including identity, citizenship, social transformation, social inequalities, sexuality, health and others
• an understanding of the variety of philosophical principles and epistemological frameworks that underpin approaches to social inquiry
• an understanding of the way social divisions are generated as structures of power and patterns of inequality, and how these are reproduced and transformed over time
