About this course

The study of human behaviour and relationships creates a lens through which to see the world better. At Plymouth, you’ll hold that lens to the world around you so you can play a positive role in it. Here we look inwardly at our surroundings as much as we look beyond them, and you’ll spend time immersed on the streets of the city you’re living in, putting Plymouth society under the microscope. See how change is made by working with local support groups and projects like Landworks.

  • Build your confidence: use the foundation year to become more confident, regardless of your educational background.

  • Learn from passionate and committed academics with active and wide-ranging research expertise. Our research and specialisms include health, well-being and social policy alongside politics and identities.

  • Apply sociological theory to contemporary issues in an interactively taught environment, then explore and experience first-hand the world beyond the classroom with national and international field trips and exchange opportunities.

  • Engage in a pioneering, well established work-based learning programme along with voluntary opportunities to enhance your employability.

  • Develop key transferable skills that employers actively seek through novel research methods training.

  • Experience varied and engaging assessment formats supported through personal tutoring.
