Integrated Foundation - Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Sociology (L301)

Students will look at many areas of social life, such as gender, race, religion and class, family, migration and social change, to understand how power operates, how individual behaviour, norms and values are shaped by the social world, and how conflict exists and is resolved.

Throughout the course, students will be asked to reflect on their own life experiences and to consider contemporary real-world issues and events. Students will make connections with ideas and arguments from other social sciences, such as psychology, criminology, and politics. Students will take their learning out of the classroom, broadening their experience of work environments and cultural spaces such as museums and galleries. Timetabled learning and teaching on this course includes lectures, small group tutorials and seminars.
