About This Course
Gaining insight into society helps us comprehend ourselves and our social contexts more deeply. Sociology explores social dynamics and how they influence human actions, perspectives, and sense of self. The discipline spans from analyzing everyday personal interactions to examining major social structures, collective movements, and global phenomena. Through studying society, we enhance our awareness of both ourselves and our social environments.
This subject can also be pursued in Welsh through the BA Cymdeithaseg gyda Pholisi Cymdeithasol program.

Career Prospects
Bangor Sociology alumni apply their qualifications across various sectors. Primary opportunities exist in policy and social services, encompassing public housing, civil service, healthcare, management, local government, education, public relations, and nonprofit organizations. However, employers across all industries value Sociology graduates for their ability to analyze issues through a societal lens. You'll develop a 'sociological imagination' - understanding how individuals perceive themselves and society - a crucial skill for any profession and life overall. Graduates may also advance to postgraduate studies through our MA programs.
