Why Lancaster?
How do social inequalities develop? What is being done to resist and challenge them? What social factors influence climate change and how we respond? If these questions intrigue you, you’re the perfect fit for our MA Sociology.
Forward-thinking research
Our programme lets you focus on a wide range of contemporary issues in society, such as inequality, racism and capitalism. At the same time, you’ll focus on developing your critical skills.
You’ll be part of our ground-breaking research community where some of our academics dedicate their time to climate change, while others focus on finding alternatives to social and economic inequalities. Our committed and socially engaged experts create a vibrant environment where you’ll be able to thrive.
To make sure our programme is inclusive and culturally diverse, we’ve expanded our global focus and are decolonising our curriculum.
Practical project experience
As well as a dissertation, our MA includes a separate module which gives you the opportunity to work in groups on a mini research project. This is a good trial run to develop your social research skills in a safe environment while receiving constructive feedback.
Working together with others like this is a great way to experience different approaches and gives you another practical project to refer to in job interviews.
