Sociology and Social Inequalities

The Sociology and Social Inequalities MSc offers advanced sociological training with a dedicated focus on understanding and addressing social inequalities. Through a curriculum that combines rigorous methodological training with an interdisciplinary approach, you will explore the roots, mechanisms, and impacts of inequality across individual, community, national, and global contexts. Topics that may be covered include intersections of race, gender, social class, social justice, the climate crisis, AI and new technology, and the paths towards creating a more equitable future. It can be studied on campus or online, giving you the flexibility to engage with the programme from anywhere in the world. Modular (flexible) students - Some postgraduate taught and MRes programmes are available on a modular basis. Modular study lasts between 2 and 5 years. This is different to a part-time study which lasts for a fixed period.
