Sociology with Social Policy BSc(Hons
Your course How does social policy solve problems within society? How do relationships between people and institutions affect the way we act? What does it mean to be a citizen of a country? We aim to challenge your assumptions and perhaps change a few, all the while helping you to develop a range of skills that will aid you in your career too.
On the course you’ll critically examine social policy debates within a global, national and local context, and the ways in which social policy is implemented to solve social, political, cultural and economic problems within society. Throughout the course you’ll look at important sociological questions, such as how societies operate, exploring areas such as diversity, power, inequality, identity, health and well-being, and how identities are constructed.
