Studying a Sociology and Social Policy degree will equip students with the essential theoretical foundation to understand people's behaviour as social beings, as well as the wider social, cultural, political and economic factors influencing our constantly changing society. Students will explore how society promotes the well-being of its members, examining themes and values such as social justice, equality, fairness, and citizenship, alongside specific policy focal points such as health, education, housing, disability, crime, poverty, and the family. Students will learn how to generate new knowledge and information using a variety of qualitative and quantitative social research tools and throughout the course, they will develop excellent communication and presentation skills, together with the ability to analyze and critically evaluate evidence and construct arguments around the complex societal issues that affect us all.
