Objectives
The degree places particular emphasis upon the need to acquire a comprehensive grasp of sociological theory and of methods of investigation in order to analyse substantive issues of social organisation on a local, national or global basis. Over the three years, the range of options becomes wider so that students can progressively define their own interests and concentrate upon them. The dissertation at the end of the degree is the culmination of this process. There are about 25 Second and Third Year option modules provided within the Department, although they vary from year to year.

Entry requirements
General university admissions requirements All applicants must possess a minimum level of competence in English Language and in Mathematics or a Science. A pass at Grade C or above in GCSE English Language and in Mathematics or a Science, or an equivalent qualification, fulfils this requirement. For some courses, requirements are above this University minimum, so you should check the relevant course-specific entry requirements in our hard copy prospectus which you can order online or browse on our online directory. We usually ask for candidates to show a broad base of study at GCSE level (or equivalent) with passes in at least five subjects from a range of disciplines.
