Uniting Sociology and Philosophy

The BSc Sociology and Philosophy programme offers a balanced and rigorous exploration of two deeply interconnected disciplines. Students are introduced to the core theoretical foundations of sociology—examining real-world concerns like consumption, the environment, modern slavery, risk, and food—alongside the critical inquiry of philosophy, covering logic, epistemology, metaphysics, ethics, and political philosophy.

This course is designed for those who appreciate the synergy between social research and abstract reasoning. Features include:

• Small-group workshops, guest speaker sessions, and active reading groups.
• Emphasis on developing both empirical research skills and advanced critical argumentation.
• A wide range of unit choices as you progress, allowing for intellectual flexibility.
• A supportive learning environment that emphasizes transferable skills to enhance long-term career aspirations.
