If you want to develop your sociology knowledge and learn a language, this is the course for you.

Studying Sociology helps you to think critically about the social worlds we live in. At Sussex, you’re taught by expert researchers on diverse topics such as gender inequalities, identity, health care and globalisation.

Designing and carrying out your own research projects means that you develop practical and analytical skills surrounding research methodology.

Choose one language from Arabic, British Sign Language, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese and Spanish, or you can choose to study English Language Teaching.

Get the training and knowledge for graduate careers in fields such as welfare, social services, education and teaching, and media and publishing.

You’ll gain writing, speaking and reading skills in your target language. You also gain experience of critical thinking and data analysis, meaning you can also go into research and policy-related roles in the UK or abroad.

To help you apply for graduate schemes and jobs in the public, private, and voluntary sectors, you can attend specialist career workshops and sessions throughout your degree.
