Each year, you can choose optional modules to explore a specialist area, such as inequality, world cultures, or the impact of mass media on society, in depth or broaden your knowledge across multiple topics.
At Reading, we prioritise small, supportive group teaching allowing you to interact directly with tutors who value your contribution to class.
You will be learning from those who are shaping the way we think about sociology and influence policy. Throughout your degree you will develop your arguments and explore alternative understandings and evidence.
