Master of Arts in Sociology (by research)

Program Overview

Our MA Sociology (by research) is perfect for students with a focused interest in a particular area of sociology, who have already developed a firm basis for their chosen research topic.

For a Masters by research, you will be expected to undertake a rigorous piece of independent research. 

You'll complete a 25,000-word thesis over 12 months (full-time) or 24 months (part-time).  Through this thesis, you'll demonstrate good evidence of your ability to critically investigate a specific field of study, use a solid and appropriate research methodology and write to a high standard of presentation.

Our supervisors offer a range of expertise across: 

  • criminology
  • conversation analysis
  • social media
  • sociology of health and the body
  • science and technology studies
  • gender
  • anomalous experience
