Sociology , PhD
This degree provides an opportunity to develop your own research expertise by studying a sociological issue in an interdisciplinary School. You will study with internationally renowned sociologists in a dynamic and supportive research environment. They are involved in funded research, research centres and groups looking at everything from Digital Economies & Futures, Food Security, and Integration, to Music Festivals, Migration, Modern Slavery and Social Inequalities. Our staff also have particular expertise across a range of cultural and social theory and champion diverse research methodologies.
You will join an international community of students working in a range of sociological areas. You will be assigned two PhD supervisors whose current active research interests and expertise are relevant to your chosen research area.
We are committed to rigorous conceptual and empirical research that is politically and socially relevant and problem-orientated. We aim to advance theory, knowledge and methods at the cutting edge of sociology. Our aim is not just to monitor the social world but to contribute to a better understanding and to ways that might improve it.
