STIMULATING STUDY
Our sociology degree will nurture the skills you need to excel at university, and you will develop a firm understanding of sociological theories, and how these can be applied to real world problems.
You will have the opportunity to attend field trips such as Newport Rising to take part in the torch-led Chartist march; the Dusty Forge community hub, and the Welsh Senedd. You will also receive support to complete a 70 hour work placement of your choice.
Our lecturers have extensive knowledge in areas such as sustainable development, education and community cohesion, global conflict, equity and inclusion, and youth and community work.
KEY TOPICS AND TRANSFERABLE SKILLS
Key topics across the sociology degree include social class and inequalities, social and environmental justice, violence and conflict, media and crime, and families and communities.
As you study sociology, you will develop the transferable skills that are sought after by employers, including research and project management, problem-solving skills, design thinking, understanding others, and a range of communication skills.
