Course summary
At Worcester we encourage you to see the world from different angles, discuss new ideas, and think beyond the obvious. You’ll join a vibrant course community with lecturers who have a personal interest in you and your ideas. There are also plenty of real-life research opportunities, such as interviewing and observing, and when using sociological and political theory we make it relatable, showing how it can help with ‘real’ problems.Alongside studying sociology your course will have a political edge, allowing you to relate sociological research and issues to political philosophy, systems, and existential political challenges in Westminster, European and global politics. This combination of subjects will allow you to see the impact of politics, political language and legislation on everyday lives.
Key features- Critically engage with contemporary sociological and political challenges in our modules on the environment, Digital Sociology, Sociology of Health, Visual Sociology, Westminster, European, and global politics- A personalised learner journey tailored around your own interests which includes close tutor support in helping you to develop personal, academic, and graduate skills with a focus on long term career planning- Lively debates not just sitting in lectures. When we do have lectures, we make them interactive, inclusive, and personally stimulating- Specialist careers advice and work-based learning in local and regional organisations and with political parties in local constituencies and Parliament that will increase your employability- Assessments (no exams) which focus on personal and experiential learning and encouragement of your own research interests to help you become an independent learner able to understand contemporary global challenges and how Sociology with Politics can make sense of them
