Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Sociology (L300)

Choose Sociology at the University of Westminster and students will never think about society in the same way again. This course entails engaging with a dynamic 21st-century subject and exploring current social issues and debates, using the latest research methods. Investigating the nature of societal structures and their impact on people's everyday lives and interactions is central to the course. Students will consider questions of how power is exercised and normalised at all levels of society, from the state to individual emotions, through explorations of social class, gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality, and other factors. They will gain a sensitive understanding of diversity as well as a keen self-awareness and ability to make sense of their own social location in terms of identities, cultures, beliefs and values.

Students will be taught by active researchers, whose innovative books and articles are helping to set the global sociological agenda. The course makes full use of the amazing resources the central London location provides, from the museums on our doorstep to street-art field trips and the diverse cultures and subcultures that will inform and inspire their own research.
