BA (Hons) Sociology

Studying Sociology at BGU in Lincoln means you won’t ‘just’ be looking at sociological theory – you’ll be exploring how approaches help demystify phenomena like terrorism, nationalism, sexism, surveillance, globalization, and multiculturalism. Similarly, when you study research methods, you won’t ‘just’ be studying research methods – you’ll be looking at how those methods are used in the real world by marketing agencies, governments, local councils, advertising agencies, PR companies, polling companies, and many others.

This undergraduate course showcases sociology’s relevance beyond the confines of academia.
