Sociology with a Year Abroad

About this course

Sociology is the systematic study of human social life, from the intimate dynamics of families and friendships to the structural forces of class, race, gender, and globalisation that shape entire societies. It is a discipline that trains you to see the social world with new eyes, to question assumptions that seem natural, and to ask why the world is arranged as it is rather than some other way. In doing so, sociology develops some of the most transferable intellectual skills available: the ability to gather and interpret evidence, to construct arguments from competing theories, and to communicate complex ideas clearly and persuasively. This four-year full-time programme at the University of East Anglia includes a year abroad, taking your studies into an international context that enriches both your understanding of sociology and your sense of how different societies organise themselves.
