Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Social Policy and Sociology with Year Abroad

Program Overview

The BA Social Policy and Sociology Joint Honours degree at Birmingham, will give you a broad grounding in the major approaches to two disciplines and provide you with an excellent opportunity to explore the social changes reshaping the world today.

The BA Social Policy and Sociology Joint Honours degree with year abroad will provide you with the knowledge and skills to critically engage with key issues facing contemporary societies including globalisation; the changing nature of work and the family; gender roles and sexuality; multiculturalism; the impact of the media and information technologies; and new forms of politics. In addition to these 'big picture' social theories we place a strong emphasis on developing social science research skills – so valued by employers – with research methods training in each year. Your third year will be spent abroad at a university in the EU or elsewhere in the world.
