Indicative Module Content:

This module is organised around a selection of key sociological concepts, including crisis, society, stratification, class and race, gender and sexuality, social change, and so on. The discussion of these concepts serves as an opportunity to explore major themes and areas of sociological study, through which students gain an understanding of the methodologies of social research.

Lectures are complemented by four weeks of tutorial seminars covering the history of sociology, the sociological imagination, and research methods. In these small-group sessions, students work closely with an experienced tutor who guides them through the fascinating field of sociology.
