About Sociology with Foundation Year, BA (Hons) - at University of West London

Course summary

Overview
Sociology is the study of how groups of people behave and interact. On this course you will study and analyse human behaviour in different social, cultural and institutional contexts.

Why choose this course?
The curriculum is at the forefront of the latest research and debate, giving you insight into today's issues, from globalisation to social movements and cyber society.

You will gain professional experience during a work-based module.  Our students typically gain this in social, legal and welfare-related fields such as:

  • youth offending
  • victim support
  • social care 
  • welfare support.

As well as aiding your studies, this enhances your chances of finding relevant employment after graduation.

There will also be the opportunity to travel abroad to learn about other societies and cultures. You will also engage in work or volunteering with social, welfare and criminal justice agencies to support your academic studies.

Career and study progression
Your degree can take you anywhere, but some of the most popular careers for our Sociology graduates include teaching, working with charities and journalism. You may also wish to undertake postgraduate study to specialise in a subject you've already studied, or to explore something new.

For more details please see the Career and study progression section.
