The Sociology Society have set up a new Facebook group for undergraduates starting with us in 2014/15 (graduating class of 2017). Join now to meet your fellow students, and find out more about society events.

The Department is pleased to announce , eleven of which will run in 2014-15.

For the first time, our module pages are visible to everyone!. Feel free to browse the course outline, syllabus, recommended reading materials, and assessment methods of any that spark an interest.

The Department recently launched an exciting new undergraduate degree programme, , for students interested in specialising in the statistical side of sociology.

The degree is funded by the Q-Step programme, which was developed as a strategic response to the shortage of quantitatively-skilled social science graduates.

Alice's book, , advances the concept of 'global legacies' - enduring forms, processes, or ideas of the 'global' that shape urban identity and politics. Global legacies provide a key lens on the difficult pasts and uncertain futures of cities. In particular, port cities, with their distinctive global dynamics, long histories of casual labour, large migrant communities, and roles within international trade networks, exhibit fascinating global legacies.

We have officially launched our own Department YouTube Channel, showcasing a wide range of staff and student videos.
