Sociology BSc (single honours)

Gain insight into the global issues we face in modern society by studying sociology at Roehampton. Our department is rated one of the best in the UK for the impact of our social sciences research. 

Sociology is about exploring the building blocks of society. It’s the study of the connections that bind us together: families, organisations and social groups. 

This degree will help you understand how societies are created and how they change. You will learn how educational attainment, ethnicity, gender and geography all play a part in people’s place in society, including the resources they accumulate and the networks they build. You’ll leave with a different view of other individuals and the world around you.  

We offer exciting modules to fit with your interests. Several modules include field trips and you will be able to apply what you have learned to your everyday life. Other modules such as Becoming a Sociologist offer opportunities to develop valuable, hands-on skills for your career, as you analyse the world through focus groups, interviews and surveys. 

Overall, there’ll be many opportunities to gain practical experiences as preparation for work. You will leave with the tools to continue developing your analytical thinking, and your communication and leadership skills.
