Sociology (with integrated year in Industry)

About this course

Sociology is the systematic study of human social life, examining the structures, institutions, and cultural forces that shape how people live together. It asks questions about inequality, identity, power, and change, and it develops the analytical tools to study social phenomena rigorously rather than simply accepting received assumptions about how society works. Whether examining the family, the labour market, education, health, crime, or the media, sociology trains you to think critically and to use evidence carefully. At Aberystwyth University, the BA Sociology with integrated year in industry runs over four years full-time and includes a placement year between your second and final years of study. This placement gives you sustained professional experience in an organisation or sector that interests you, putting sociological thinking into practice and building the professional skill
