**Studying Sociology at Birmingham will provide you with the toolkit to form your own critical judgements on social changes reshaping the world today.**<br/><br/>We are living through a time of tumultuous and rapid change, but why is this the case? What are the underpinning explanations? What is the impact of this wider social change on our identities, relationships and communities? These are the kinds of questions that shape our Sociology degree here at Birmingham.<br/><br/>This course will provide you with the knowledge and skills to critically engage issues such as globalisation, the changing nature of work and the family, gender roles and sexuality, multiculturalism, the impact of the media and information technologies, and new forms of politics. <br/><br/>In addition to the big picture social theories we will place a strong emphasis on developing social science research skills - so valued by employers - with research methods training in each year. This culminates in a final year dissertation where you research and write an extended piece on a topic of your own choice, with the support of an expert supervisor. This reflects our view that you should be doing Sociology, not just reading about it, from the very start of your degree. <br/><br/>In addition to our Single Honours programme, Sociology can also be studied as part of a range of Joint Honours options including Political Science, Social Policy, Philosophy, and Education.
