Sociology with social policy at Sheffield is the study of bringing about change in society, particularly through policy making. This practical, applied dimension of the degree is what makes it different from pure sociology.This cutting-edge discipline combines research techniques and information retrieval, along with presentation and analytical skills – encouraging you to develop a deeper understanding of contemporary societal issues such as inequality, health, welfare, income, labour and migration.In your final year, you’ll complete your own research project on one of these issues – demonstrating how to use theoretical frameworks and methodological tools to investigate the biggest challenges of our time. Learn from people making real change - academics use their current research to inform new and upcoming policy. For example, world expert on ageing, Dr Liam Foster's research has been referenced by political parties and international bodies. And Dr Ysabel Gerrard's research into how young people use and experience social media has been involved in a ground-breaking new policy change for Instagram. Variety, choice and flexibility - ‘sociological studies’ encompasses sociologists, social policy analysts, social workers and digital society experts under one roof. This means your optional modules will stretch your mind and your abilities, and bring you into contact with students from a range of other courses such as digital media and society, journalism and education, to name a few. Greater employability - a dedicated module in third year – 'Value of Sociology' – helps students understand the transferable skills gained from the degree, which can be applied in a range of careers. You are the focus - student reps, student voice week and our ambassadors all shape how our department runs. The Sociology Society, or SocSoc, is a group of students that organise a variety of social events including an annual ball, plus volunteering initiatives, and socials across the year, as well as dedicated learning support for students in the department.Optional placement year,Study abroad
