Bachelor of Science in Sociology

Program Overview

This BA Sociology degree explores and analyses the most powerful aspects of our lives as social beings. Sociology is the study of social life and the social relations that give shape to the contemporary world. On this sociology degree we equip you with the ideas and concepts to analyse contemporary society and to confront and understand the most challenging and important social and ethical questions of our time, including inequalities, race, migration, human rights, violence, trauma and mental health. You will learn about:

  • different ways of examining social life, social relations and social change
  • theories about the relationship between social worlds, politics and power
  • social processes and their relationship to institutions, civil society and public life
  • sociological ways of understanding identity, experience and belonging.

This course encourages rigorous, critical thought and provides you with a wealth of analytical skills that can be easily transferred to other settings after your degree, particularly to enhance your career prospects. You can also follow your interests with option modules from a range of disciplines including politics, psychosocial studies, geography, history, philosophy and criminology, allowing you to take a rich, varied and interdisciplinary approach.

Studying BA Sociology at Birkbeck gives you access to leading academics at the same time as training your independent thinking to confront the social realities of the contemporary period. Housed within the Department of Psychosocial Studies, this course also benefits from the expertise of a wider academic community exploring the connections between the psyche and the social world.
