Sociology Combined Degrees

The teaching in the sociology department reflects the research interests of staff, and are broad, but with special expertise in the areas of criminology, health, human sexuality, religion and the origins of culture.

Students taking sociology as part of a combined honours degree will be introduced to the major concerns and controversies of contemporary sociology. Although no prior knowledge of the discipline is expected, those who have studied it previously will find the course challenging and innovative.

Sociology courses are taught by the School of Humanities at the Greenwich Campus. Depending on your selected combination you may be required to to travel between campuses.
