Sociology with a Year Abroad

Overview

Do you want to understand how society works – why inequality persists, how identities are formed, and the way that power operates within social institutions? If you’re fascinated by the way that society functions, you’re driven by a desire to change the world, and you want the opportunity to experience a year abroad, this is the degree for you.

Sociology at UEA puts you in charge of designing the course you want to study. Our teaching emphasises creative, critical and applied learning so you can learn in ways that suit you, and develop a wide range of skills and interests. You can take modules from other schools across campus, which is something quite distinctive about Sociology at UEA, and something our students truly value.

The course is designed around four key pathways:

• Criminology

• The Sociology of Children and Families

• The Sociology of Social Change

• Digital Sociology

You can focus on specific modules to build your expertise in a pathway, or select modules to explore all of them, and you’re free to change your focus if your interests change.

We have a large community of experts in Sociology ranging from social and political theorists, to specialists in social policy, social work, education and global development. Your year abroad will give you the exciting opportunity to be absorbed into university life within a different culture. You can choose from a broad range of our partner universities in North America, Europe, Australasia, or Asia.

Sociology graduates will be critical thinkers, able to conduct social research, communicate complex ideas and reflect on existing and emerging career opportunities. The programme’s pathways are designed to link to employment options, as well as provide a strong foundation for postgraduate study.
