Literature and Sociology - BA (Hons)

University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI)

Most of our humanities subjects can be studied as joint honours as well as single honours. Joint honours programmes give you the opportunity to combine two subjects, which complement your interests or career goals. You will usually concentrate on both subjects equally. It can be possible to transfer between single and joint honours options, usually during your first or second year, and advice will be available from your personal academic tutor.

This joint degree covers:

• Literature: using a wide range of authors and texts, from classic to contemporary, explores literature in a global context, looking in depth at language and literary history.
• Sociology: the study of the development, structure, and functioning of human society

Once you have successfully completed your BA (Hons) Literature and Sociology, you might like to consider careers in:

• Teaching and education
• Academia
• Publishing
• Museum and archives
• Charities
• The Media
• Heritage sector
• Creative arts
• Marketing and PR
• Government
• Writer
• Research

The highly developed critical, analytical and communication skills you will acquire through your studies will make you a strong candidate for a wide variety of careers.
