The Sociology BA at Nottingham Trent University is designed for students eager to understand and critically analyse the complex social structures, inequalities, and cultural dynamics that shape our world. You will explore foundational sociological thought, from classical theorists to contemporary global perspectives, and develop a keen understanding of how social institutions, identity, and sustainability intersect. This degree is ideal if you are passionate about examining pressing societal issues such as gender, race, environmental justice, and digital culture, preparing you to engage meaningfully with the challenges of our diverse and interconnected societies.
This full-time, on-campus undergraduate degree, studied over three years, offers a dynamic learning experience. You will engage with real-world issues through modules like Sociology and Service Learning, where you’ll collaborate with social organisations, and develop robust research skills through the Applied Social Research module. Your final year culminates in a significant Research Project, offering a dissertation or a report for a local organisation, supported by one-to-one supervision. You will graduate with the analytical, critical thinking, and practical skills to pursue diverse career paths in the public, private, or third sectors, or to continue to postgraduate study.
