Public Sociology - BSc/BSc (Hons)
If you have an enquiring, questioning mind and you want to understand more about human societies, social problems, interactions and experiences, you will thrive on this BSc/BSc (Hons) Public Sociology course.
Intellectually stimulating and personally empowering, this course will invite you to embrace new ideas and schools of thought. It encourages rigorous critical thinking on complex and challenging social issues, opening the door to a wide range of careers.
It is Scotland’s first public sociology course and we continue to be pioneering in the way we think. Our students have chosen fascinating and original topics to research for their dissertations, from women’s body image on social media to a community campaign on gentrification.
The course is student-focused and research-informed. It offers students the opportunity to work closely with staff on current, real-world projects and collaborations.
