Course summary

Society is rapidly changing. Our multicultural and diverse world is becoming increasingly complex - bringing about challenges and problems that we, as sociologists, seek to tackle. At NTU, our role is to deliver you as a sociology graduate ready for the real world, well-prepared to address these changes. We believe that the study of sociology should not be confined to the university classroom but that you should have the chance to apply your knowledge to do public good, benefiting communities and wider society. You’ll take advantage of our teaching team’s connections with individuals and organisations in the local and international community to learn from active researchers. Studying with us, you’ll engage in the most pressing contemporary social issues of our time - from gender equality to race and ethnicity, environmental sociology to media, popular and digital cultures. You’ll develop the knowledge and skills to tackle some of today’s most challenging problems. You’ll stand out as an actively engaged citizen. You’ll be ready to make a real difference to society - whether that’s working in the public, private, or third sector. What you'll study The BA Sociology degree has been developed to reflect the diversity of our students and to examine social issues. Not just through the dominant ideas of Western sociology, but through the perspectives of scholars from across the globe. Throughout the course, we integrate the analysis of social problems, social research training and sociological theory with a strong focus on employment. We'll work with you to develop a complex skill set in analysis, critical thinking, digital competency and personal confidence to ensure you’re well-prepared for the future jobs market.
