BA (Hons) Sociology and Portuguese in Manchester United Kingdom | The University of Manchester

The fields of sociology and languages are fundamentally interconnected. Understanding society requires examining language, just as language study must consider its social setting. This program will push you to analyze the structure of our social environments and explore how language and culture construct and influence these realms. You'll examine both societal patterns and transformations, ranging from how inequalities persist across social divisions (like race, class, or gender) to how broader cultural frameworks affect personal relationships. Alongside building advanced linguistic abilities, you'll gain insight into the cultures and histories tied to your chosen language. During the third year of this four-year course, you'll complete a residency abroad, either studying or working in a nation where your target language is spoken. We strive to cultivate your analytical, research, and language capabilities, preparing you to become autonomous thinkers and scholars proficient in both English and an additional language.
