Social policy is about a society's strategies for change.
The field of Sociological Studies will enable you to study these issues imaginatively and systematically, to reflect on the social implications of practice and to develop methodological competence and critical awareness. You may choose to combine sociology and social policy or specialise in areas of social policy which interest you. Alternatively, you can study theory, method and culture. We encourage you to develop anti-discriminatory perspectives through modules on race, gender and disability. Level I will familiarise you with key concepts and issues such as sociological perspectives, social class and stratification, sociology of the family, changing European society, sociology of leisure and investigative methods.
