On this course, you will take your sociological understanding of social inequalities and injustices to the next level and debate the most important sociological problems in the world today. You will also further enhance your professional development and employability skills, which can be a route to career progression.
The MA in Sociology and Social Justice focusses on enabling learners to attain an advanced insight into contemporary social issues and inequalities. You will situate these problems within a broader historical, social, cultural, economic, and political context to learn how our lives are shaped by broader sociological forces. Whilst the course focusses on understanding the social world, it is also concerned with how to change it for the better.
Therefore, this course will give you insights and skills to tackle inequalities and injustices and to make a positive impact upon society. Through a range of innovative and often research-led teaching approaches, you will learn about a range of issues including classical sociological debates, advanced and critical sociological theories, current sociological ‘live debates’ as well as training in research methods to equip you with the skills required to undertake an independent research project at master’s level.
Employability is also embedded in the course to further enhance your skills and professional development, which is important for career progression.
You’ll normally be expected to hold a relevant honours degree with at least a 2:1 from a recognised university or body.
