About Sociology with Social Policy, BA - at University of Sheffield

Study the fundamentals of sociological and social policy analysis. You'll explore research techniques and information retrieval while developing your presentation and analytical skills.

Social policy is a cutting-edge discipline. Alongside exploring a range of sociological issues, you'll also have the opportunity to learn more about complex global challenges such as social inequalities, health, welfare, income, labour and migration. You'll gain an understanding of how to bring about change in society, particularly through policy making.

In your third year, you'll explore current thinking on a range of important issues via specialist modules.

You'll also undertake a research project on a topic of your own choosing, working closely with your dissertation supervisor. You'll develop your skills as a social researcher and demonstrate how you can use the theoretical frameworks and methodological tools of the discipline to investigate and report on a significant social or sociological issue.
