BA Sociology and Politics degree at Aberystwyth University will enable students to develop a critical awareness of the social world through a solid grounding in the conceptual and theoretical approaches employed by sociologists to study the world around us.

The distinctive field-based approach to sociology at Aberystwyth will equip them with first-hand experience of a variety of sociological research methods in addition to training in the techniques of archival research.
