Program Description

By studying both history and sociology, students will develop an understanding of past societies and patterns of social change.

History modules cover past societies from the late Roman through to the modern period, addressing political, social and cultural themes in history. Students will learn to exercise independent judgement, to be critical of accepted opinion, and to present their arguments effectively.

Sociology modules cover the fundamentals of sociological analysis. Subjects include crime and deviance, religion and belief, migration, surveillance, race and racism, and new genetics. Students will also learn research and information retrieval techniques.
