Bachelor of Science in Sociology (Applied Quantitative Research) with Year Abroad

Program Overview

Investigate social phenomena through the eyes of a scientist. Use statistical analysis to answer difficult social questions. Learn how patterns in human societies can be used to predict social trends. On this course you explore why individuals, groups, and cultures are the way they are whilst applying scientific methods and tools to examine the important questions that surround human society.

At Essex we explore what connects people with each other, as well as what divides them. We consider every aspect of our daily lives, from how we relate to politicians, celebrities and friends, to how we behave in similar or different ways to those who share our experiences and social location. You study topics including:

  • Digital media and its impact on society
  • The sociological methods used to carry out empirical research
  • Religion and society
  • Using quantitative analysis from basic statistics to big data – in order to answer difficult questions
  • Inequalities in society based on race, class, gender or religion.

You receive training in social research methods with an emphasis on quantitative data and analysis. You will also complete a supervised dissertation on the topic that most inspires you, encouraging you to think scientifically, enhancing your ability to understand and use data, and connect with live issues and debates, preparing you for your graduate career.

Study abroad

Your education extends beyond the university campus. We support you extending your education through providing the option of an additional year. The four-year version of our degree allows you to spend the third year studying abroad, while otherwise remaining identical to the three-year course.

Studying abroad allows you to experience other cultures and languages, to broaden your degree socially and academically, and to demonstrate to employers that you are mature, adaptable, and organised.

If you spend a full year abroad you'll only pay 15% of your usual tuition fee to Essex for that year. You won't pay any tuition fees to your host university
