The Department of Sociology attracts outstanding graduate students from around the world, forming a community of around 100 scholars supported by excellent facilities and a shared commitment to advancing the discipline.
Each year, around 30 students join our MSc and MPhil programmes, building strong theoretical and methodological foundations for advanced research. A further 80 students pursue original research through the DPhil. At undergraduate level, Sociology is studied as part of three interdisciplinary degrees: Human Sciences; Philosophy, Politics & Economics; and History & Politics.
Our students come from the UK, across Europe, and around the globe, creating a diverse and dynamic learning environment. While many graduates go on to academic careers, others take up influential roles in government, diplomacy, and the private sector.
Application to any of our courses is made online through the University's Graduate Admissions Office. Learn more about course availability, eligibility criteria, deadlines and required supporting material.
The department does not offer an Undergraduate degree in Sociology alone. At the Undergraduate level, Sociology is studied as part of three interdisciplinary degrees.
