# Sociology - BSc (Hons)

Our BSc (Hons) in Sociology is ideal preparation for a wide range of careers in which you can contribute to improving people’s lives. As a student on this course, you will study a broad range of stimulating and empowering topics, benefit from opportunities to engage in work- or volunteer-based learning and participate in community-engagement projects, and have the opportunity to go on a student exchange overseas*.

Sociology focuses on understanding how people’s lives and interactions are shaped by factors such as class, gender, ethnicity, race, disability, and age in national and global contexts. Sociologists interpret and explain how social processes and institutions shape people’s everyday lives.

Throughout your studies, you will examine how, where, when and why social inequalities, injustices and divisions arise; consider ways in which we can challenge, understand and overcome social problems and ethical dilemmas through public policy and social action; and interpret the relationship between identity, community and society, locally and globally. You will also conduct research into real-world issues, as well as make concrete recommendations for social change.

Why QMU?

* Unique in Scotland: Our degree remains the first in Scotland to have public sociology as its underpinning ethos and practice; this means we emphasise engaging with and collaborating with non-academic groups to address the real-world issues that affect them. We co-create knowledge for a purpose - a social good - rather than 'knowing for the sake of knowing'.

* Learn from tutors who are actively involved in social justice campaigning: This will help you to see how sociology can contribute to challenging inequality and improving people’s lives.

* Dynamic learning environment: We engage our students in a wide range of learning experiences that are intellectually stimulating and personally empowering, ranging from traditional lectures, small seminars, and study groups to opportunities for work-based learning and community engagement.

* Support for students: Our class sizes are smaller than at some universities, so you receive closer, more individually tailored support and guidance from our staff.
