Curriculum
This three-year full-time degree course (or four years part-time) will connect you to the real-world issues that exist in the communities outside our walls. Our extraordinary location in the heart of east London could not be better for the study of sociology.
We’ll help you make sense of social problems and how they might be addressed, both in the world in general and 21st century Britain in particular. We’ll give you a good grounding in how to interpret data and how to conduct informed debate on social issues.
The course begins with an exploration of how to think sociologically, how to connect social problems with policy solutions and how to conduct social research
In your second and third years you’ll practise and extend these skills with a programme of study tailored to your interests. The wide range of modules on offer means that you can specialise in areas you are passionate about.
You’ll be taking one of the most interesting, socially relevant and skills-based degrees on offer in London. This isn’t just our opinion. Our high student satisfaction scores in recent National Student Surveys prove it.
Foundation Year
If you don’t meet the entry requirements for a bachelor’s degree, you can study this course as an ‘extended’ four-year programme. You’ll begin with a foundation year, which will prepare you for a successful transition to the degree course a year later.
By the end of the degree you’ll gain the same qualification as those obtaining direct entry to the course but you’ll take one year longer to complete your studies.
