Sociology and Social Policy combines the study of social theory, social policy and social research. The programme aims to give you a thorough training in the systematic study of society, contemporary social issues and the role of social policy in comparative country contexts. At the end of your four years you should have developed both a general sociological understanding, specific expertise in various contemporary policy issues as well as in the process of policy making. The fundamental aim of the degree programme is to give students a thorough training in the systematic study of society, contemporary social issues and how policy works. Sociology introduces students to the theories that explain social behaviour and relationships. Key themes will focus on the family, work, European societies and globalisation, conflict, migration and racism, social movements, social theories and social research. Social policy focuses on social issues and social problems and is concerned with understanding the place of policy in addressing need and promoting well-being. Students have the opportunity to study abroad in their third year at prestigious universities in countries such as Sweden, France, Malta, Finland and the Czech Republic.
