Program Description
Why does inequality exist and what can we do about it? In this theoretical and research-based course, you'll examine the major causes of inequalities in our world. You'll explore the nature of intersectionality, including how factors such as gender, sexuality, ethnicity, age and others come together and how certain groups face unique forms of disadvantage. You'll develop as a researcher and work out strategies that can be used to change the unequal world in which we live in order to help to achieve equity and social justice.
You'll have opportunities to develop your own employability skills and depending on your chosen modules, to learn skills such as conference speaking, using social research software such as Nvivo and SPSS, writing a report for global bodies such as the United Nations, writing a campaign strategy for an activist movement and developing electronic resources such as blogs, podcasts and YouTube clips.
A European student fee scholarship and will pay the home tuition fee rate for the duration of your studies.

Notes:
Recommendations:
- We do recommend that applicants have a knowledge of sociological theories and concepts before entering the course.
Other accepted English language qualifications:
- O-Level English Language or GCSE English Language: grade C or above (UK Exam board)
- Trinity Integrated Skills in English (ISE) II: Merit or Distinction
Accreditation of Prior Learning (APL):
- If you feel you already know some of the topics covered in this course, either due to previous learning or from experience of work, then you may not need to study all of the course.
- Accreditation of Prior Learning (APL) is the name given to the process of gaining credit towards a qualification because of something you have learnt in the past. If you are eligible for APL you won't have to learn the same topic again, so you can be exempt from a module, set of modules or year of a course.
Important information:
- We welcome applicants with degrees in areas such as social sciences, psychology, business, law, education, humanities, health, arts, technology and the sciences.
- We offer a Social Theory Summer School in October, before the course starts to cover the basics, but we recommend applicants read about sociological theories before the course starts.
- If you do not have the necessary level of English you may need to take one of the University's English for Academic Purposes (EAP) University Preparation Courses before you begin your course.
