BA Sociology (with integrated year in Industry)
The BA Sociology with integrated year in industry degree at Aberystwyth University will train you to develop a critical awareness of and engagement with the social world. By studying this course, you will develop a thorough grounding in the conceptual and theoretical approaches that have been employed by sociologists to study the world around us. The integrated year industry which is undertaken in-between your second and final year of study will be linked to this degree scheme, it will also give you an increased confidence and knowledge as you approach your final year of study. You will also develop your ability to analyse social phenomena through training in the collection, analysis and presentation of sociological data.
Some of the distinctive aspects of Aberystwyth’s approach to Sociology include:
emphasising the value and significance of a field-based approach to Sociology, with field exercises being integrated into lecture modules, and a dedicated Field-Based Sociology module in year 2
integrating more applied perspectives into the teaching that we undertake on key themes and concepts in Sociology to demonstrate its real-world significance (and, in doing so, help with the employability of our Sociology graduates)
drawing on our research strengths and to ensure that students are exposed to cutting-edge theoretical and empirical understandings of the social world.
