Sociology BA

Our curriculum is global. You won’t just study society in theory, you will experience it first-hand. Opportunities include field visits to cities like Amsterdam, international study exchanges, and in-depth explorations of global societies.

Our curriculum is local too and embedded within the fabric of the Liverpool City Region, shaped by its energies of activism, diversity, and creativity. Liverpool is a city of culture, music, and political engagement, where issues of inequality, identity, and social change are not just academic concepts. Studying on our programme makes you part of a community that is both historically aware and future-focused; a place where you can apply sociological ideas to real-world challenges and contribute to shaping a more just society.

In your final year, you will take control of your learning by undertaking independent research on a topic of your choice. Whether you want to challenge inequalities, shape policy, or influence cultural debates, this degree provides the foundation to make an impact. Graduates go on to careers in social research, the public sector and the civil service, media, education, and more.

If you want to study sociology from multiple angles in a theoretically informed but hands-on way, developing employer-valued skills, and engaging with regional, national and global issues our programme is the one for you.
