BA (Hons) Sociology with Social Policy in Liverpool United Kingdom | University of Liverpool

Our Sociology with Social Policy degree allows students to explore two interconnected fields that address pressing contemporary social challenges. As the primary focus, Sociology examines how societies are structured and operate. What defines the organization of our own society? Does it work efficiently? Is it balanced, just, and equitable? How do other societies compare? Our sociological approach emphasizes critical analysis, probing issues of power, social disparities, and systemic injustices.

The secondary component, Social Policy, investigates how different societies identify and fulfill their members' welfare needs. How do communities manage elder care or address unemployment in specific populations? Our Social Policy curriculum adopts a questioning perspective, examining decision-making processes, forms of social assistance, and policy effectiveness.
