Sociology BA (Hons)

Course Overview - Sociology BA (Hons)

Sociology is a scientific discipline concerned with the explanation of social life and human behaviour of all kinds. It equips students with the skills to understand the breadth of social practice, ranging from the global (including conflict, security, climate change and social justice) to individual experiences (such as the body, beliefs and mental health). Through theoretical tools and methodological techniques, sociology at Queen’s provides students with a unique way of interacting with the world as critical and engaged citizens.
