Program Overview

By understanding the social world, we gain a better understanding of ourselves and our own social situations. Sociology investigates social life and the way it shapes people’s behaviour, beliefs and identity. Its subject matter ranges from an examination of the face-to-face interactions of daily life, to large-scale social institutions, social movements and global processes. By understanding the social world, we gain a better understanding of ourselves and our own social situations.

Sociology may also be studied through the medium of Welsh in the course BA Cymdeithaseg gyda Pholisi Cymdeithasol.

Occasionally there will be guest speakers including from other universities in other parts of the world. You will conduct your own research in preparation for your assignments.

Career Prospect

Bangor Sociology graduates use their degree in a variety of ways. The most obvious career options are within the policy and social field including public housing, civil service, health service, management, local government administration, education, public relations, and the voluntary sector. Beyond this, though, Sociology graduates are appreciated by employers in practically any field of work as specialists for the general: you will have learned to think about anything in a societal perspective. You will have developed your ‘sociological imagination’, a sense for how fellow members of society are likely to see you, themselves and the social world. Many would say this is the most important skill to have in any occupation, as well as in life generally. Students can also go on to study at postgraduate level on one of our MA courses.
