Studying questions like these on the BA (Hons) Sociology degree will develop your digital sociological imagination and the critical and professional skills that lead on to a wide range of careers such as teaching, social research, journalism, social work, human resources, social policy and NGO management. Your first two years on the degree will prepare you to conduct your own research project on a subject of your own choice supervised by one of your lecturers and you will also gain valuable work experience by doing a work placement in your final year.<br>This three-year full-time degree course (or four years part-time) will connect you to the real-life issues that exist in the communities outside our walls. You'll learn about the 4th industrial revolution and the globalisation of society. In this increasingly digital age, information, money, goods and services move freely across national boundaries. Issues about society are no longer confined to geographical location and the large-scale movement of people across borders is an issue affecting all parts of the world.<br><br>All of our sociology courses at UEL are about working with people, but that doesn't mean you can only become a social worker at the end of your course. The reality is that a sociology degree will prepare you for a wide variety of jobs.<br>Increased focus on people, relationships and communication skills means that you can enter fields as diverse as teaching, human resources, the police and journalism.For the last few years we have collaborated with Government in Social Research who are concerned to increase the diversity of social researchers within the civil service. This has involved students being advised through talks and workshop exercises how to apply for placements and fast-track entry into the civil service.
