You will study literature, culture and history and explore the style choices of films, digital fiction, Instapoetry and Twitterfiction, alongside more traditional modes of text.

At Aston University, sociology is about real-life, everyday experiences. Our research-led teaching brings social theory to the study of pressing issues in the modern age, such as migration, climate change, welfare, crime, health and sexuality. We focus on key contemporary issues, social policy and decision-making, global trends and international comparisons.
In class, we explore the inequalities, injustices and dependencies that pattern our lives and you’ll gain an in-depth understanding of social processes, organisational dynamics and inter-group relationships. Through reflective learning, you'll explore the social structures and issues, such as class, gender, ethnicity, religion and identity that have shaped your own life.
Our flagship ‘Becoming a Social Scientist’ module introduces you to specific skills such as research design and use of the comparative method, and you'll have the chance to do your own research into city life in the neighbourhoods of Birmingham. By the end of the course, you’ll have well-developed written and oral presentation skills, and will be fully equipped with the skills you need to research what matters to you.
The innovative Aston placement year offers the chance to apply your learning in a work or study placement in the UK or overseas and in your second year we’ll make sure you’re ready to get the most from this opportunity. Whether you choose to study abroad, work for a company or to teach, Aston’s links with employers, schools and universities around the world mean you will have a wide range of options to boost your employability and explore the world of work.
