Sociology is a fascinating subject that makes you think and allows you to help others think. 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 plenty of opportunities to make friends and staff with a personal interest in you. There are also plenty of real-life research opportunities, such as interviewing and observing, and when using theory we make it relatable, showing how it can help with real problems.
Career planning begins at the onset of your Sociology course with our Sociology in Practice module. Consequently, you will have regular opportunities to build your graduate attributes through work-based learning, close tutor guidance and support, and regular access to our Careers & Employability Service.
In completing your degree, you will develop digital literacy, independent research, and data analysis skills, communication skills through a range of written and oral assessments, work-based learning skills, such as through our Work Project module, as well as industry-specific skills in writing a report for an organization in the second year. Indeed, Sociology graduates enjoy a range of long-term career options, including in teaching, politics, the probation service, youth and social work, the caring professions, the police, business and personnel management, administration, public relations, media, and marketing.
Based on the latest Discover Uni data, 90% of our graduates are in work or study fifteen months after completing the course.
