About Sociology, MSc - at Cardiff University

How can sociology help you make sense of a world defined by change and disruption yet, at the same time, shaped by enduring and pervasive inequalities?

This postgraduate programme is designed to develop your sociological imagination, giving you the critical and analytic skills that are needed to understand the social transformations that will characterise life in the 21st century. You will work with experts from across key areas of sociology who will introduce you to their cutting-edge research, and that of other leading scholars. Through the course material, you will learn to integrate theory, method, and data in addressing pressing global challenges caused by phenomena such as:

  • Digital and physical mobilities
  • Human-environment relations
  • Contemporary urban life
  • Digital disruptive technologies
  • Bio-medicine and socio-genetics

The programme offers you the opportunity to engage with contemporary global society from a theoretically informed, conceptually rigorous, and methodologically innovative knowledge-base. Working with and between these themes, you will study the impact of recent developments in these areas on the principal institutions of society, and classic areas of sociological inquiry, such as work, families, education, leisure, religion, health care, science, and the state. At the same time, you will consider how and why social inequalities remain a pervasive feature of social life and the ways in which these inequalities might be tackled. In this way, the course will also develop your critical appreciation of the work of policy makers, professional groups, contrasting sites of expertise, and civil society.
