Course Overview

Studying sociology at LSBU means learning to see the world though a different lens. You will be guided to dig deep into contemporary social questions by expert, experienced and enthusiastic academics doing cutting-edge research. You will join an academic community committed to social justice and dedicated to helping students fulfil their potential. Sociology at LSBU provides you with the opportunity to grapple with many current issues such as globalisation, gender, religion, sexuality, identity formation, nationalism and more. We ask big questions, too.

The impacts of climate change and environmental degradation mean that sustainability is one of the greatest challenges facing human society today. Students on the sustainability pathway will explore the relationships between environmental, social and economic systems, at every level from the local to the global. You will critically analyse the root causes of climate change and challenge the inadequacy of official responses, including COP26. In following this pathway, you will develop the skills required to contribute to the social and political change necessary for a sustainable future.

Here at LSBU, we help you focus on your future through our core work experience module in the second year. We develop your abilities as investigators of society and we develop your skills and confidence in key areas to help you turn your degree into an excellent career.
